A Manitouwadge man will spend at least a decade-and-a-half behind bars for murdering his younger brother nearly three years ago.
40-year-old Jessie Allen was convicted of second-degree murder in May, after the court heard he suddenly stabbed his 18-year-old brother, Wayne, in front of their father at the older man's house in Manitouwadge in January 2021 - police found the teen with life-threatening injuries, but he was later pronounced dead in hospital.
While the charge carries an automatic life sentence, a judge still needed to confirm that and set the period of parole ineligibility - which could've ranged from ten to 25 years - with the judge sentencing Allen this week to life with no chance at parole for fifteen years.
