Levi Cayen, currently serving an 11-year sentence for manslaughter in the 2017 death of Alex Norwegian, has been granted day parole for a period of six months.
Levi Cayen was sentenced to 11 years for manslaughter and seven years for robbery to be served concurrently. He is the last of four to be sentenced related to the death of Alex Norwegian. Norwegian was robbed, beaten and left to die on a remote road near Hay River, N.W.T., on Dec. 27, 2017.
During the second day of a sentencing hearing for Levi Cayen, Crown prosecutor Duane Praught argued Cayen should be given a 10-year sentence for robbery and 15 years for manslaughter in the death of Alex Norwegian.
Justice Shannon Smallwood said Thursday she needed more time to review submissions from the Crown and the defence before sentencing Levi Cayen for manslaughter in the death of Alex Norwegian.
James Thomas was initially charged with first-degree murder in December 2017 death of 25 year-old Alex Norwegian. He was instead convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 10 years.
