A man who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of a Thompson, Man., woman who disappeared in 2019 has been sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for seven years.
A man initially charged with first-degree murder in the case of 29-year-old Bobbie Lynn Moose, who disappeared in Thompson, Man., in 2019, has pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
WINNIPEG Manitoba RCMP have charged a 52-year-old man with first-degree murder in connection with the death of a 29-year-old woman nearly two years ago. Jack Clarence Flett of Thompson, Man., was arrested on July 28 in connection with the death of Bobbie Lynn Moose in 2019. He was placed into custody in Thompson, made a court appearance, and was transported to Winnipeg on Saturday, where he remains in custody. The charge against Flett has not been tested in court. Moose, who was from the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation, was 29 when her sister dropped her off at the Walmart on Mystery Lake Road in Thompson on October 1, 2019. She disappeared, and her body was found on Oct. 17, 2019, near Nelson Road in Thompson.
Bobbie was our beautiful sister who was a kind, humble and loving person, she said. We posted about Bobbie everyday that went by. We haven t given up on our sister Bobbie in trying to figure out who had done wrong to her.
Several relatives joined Mounties on Tuesday as officers announced they had charged Jack Clarence Flett, 52, with first-degree murder in the 29-year-old woman s death.
Supt. Michael Koppang, the officer in charge of major crime services, said Flett and Bobbie Moose were acquaintances in the city, but would not elaborate on circumstances surrounding the death.
Moose s body was found Oct. 17, 2019, in Thompson, about 750 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
