US EditionWoman Charged with Murdering Boyfriend Pleads to Manslaughter
WEST KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 15 – The manslaughter plea followed a year-long investigation into the fatal August 2022 crash involving intimate partner violence, with charges reduced due to lack of intent, Crown prosecutors said.
- In August 2022, Ka-Mikosit Favelle, 29, drove a silver vehicle that crashed upside down into a ditch on West Kelowna's Horizon Drive, killing Adam Briand-Lawrence.
- The crash prompted a criminal investigation lasting more than a year due to its complexity and connection to intimate partner violence, classified as a K-file.
- On September 15, 2023, Ka-Mikosit Favelle faced second-degree murder charges and was originally set to go to jury trial in September 2024.
- On Tuesday, Favelle accepted a plea agreement resulting in a manslaughter conviction, a charge that does not require intent as second-degree murder does.
- Favelle spent six weeks in detention before being released on bail and is scheduled to appear in court for sentencing in the fall of 2024.
