Now-28-year-old Hassan was originally charged with first-degree murder but the Crown accepted his guilty plea for the lesser charge.

A Mississauga man charged with accessory after the fact to murder pleaded guilty to that charge in October 2021, when he was 24, and was given a conditional sentence of two years less a day, which was to be served in the community
