A former Saskatchewan Mountie on trial for murder in the shooting death of his lover has been found guilty of manslaughter.
Bernie Herman, who is 55, had pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Braden Herman.
The two men are not related.
Braden Herman’s naked body was found in 2021 in a park on the outskirts of Prince Albert, Sask.
Lawyers don’t dispute that Bernie Herman fired the gun that killed the younger man.
Crown prosecutors argue the Mountie deliberately lured his lover to the isolated area to kill him, but the defence lawyer says the shooting was in self-defence.
