A Canadian court has ruled that a man who threw a trailer hitch at an indigenous woman in 2017, leading to her death, is guilty of manslaughter.
Brayden Bushby, then 18, threw the metal hitch from his vehicle, which struck Barbara Kentner, 34, in the abdomen and led to internal injuries.
Bushby had earlier pleaded not guilty to manslaughter but guilty to aggravated assault.
He faces a maximum of life in prison and will be sentenced in February.
Thunder Bay Superior Court judge Helen Pierce said on Monday that it was proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Bushby s action was a contributing cause of her death that is not trivial or insignificant and which accelerated her death , CBC News reported.
