A 20-year-old man who admitted to death at a residence in Crane River, Manitoba, has had his sentencing delayed.

Earl Moar pleaded guilty to Manslaughter in Dauphin Court of Queen’s Bench in May and is now scheduled to return on October 28th.

Ste. Rose RCMP was called to the scene in January of 2017.

When officers arrived, the home was on fire, and the reported victim of an assault was unaccounted for.

The remains of a 40-year-old woman were later found inside the residence.
