Regina teen involved in girl’s murder minimizing role in death:youth worker
REGINA — A community youth worker says a teenager convicted in the murder of a 16-year-old girl is minimizing his role in her death.
Elizabeth Christoffel of the Ministry of Justice met with the teen and staff at the correctional centre where he is being housed.
Christoffel said that while the youth, who is now 19, acknowledges the murder was wrong and genuinely seems to regret what happened, he also seems to minimize his own role in the murder.
She told the youth’s sentencing hearing today that he is not fully engaged in his rehabilitation and treatment, doing the bare minimum amount of work.
