Sentencing expected for teen girl who pleaded guilty in deadly attack on homeless man in Toronto

  • A sentencing hearing is set for May 2, 2025, involving a 16-year-old female who admitted guilt to manslaughter related to a fatal assault involving multiple attackers in a Toronto parkette in December 2022.
  • The plea followed a surprise February admission while the girl and another teen faced trial for second-degree murder tied to the fatal assault on Kenneth Lee.
  • Security footage showed the group swarming Lee, who was 59, as he tried to defend himself and was stabbed in the heart, dying from blood loss at St. Michael's hospital.
  • Police arrested eight girls aged 13 to 16 hours after the attack; six pleaded guilty to lesser charges including four manslaughter pleas, while one is awaiting trial next week.
  • The teen's sentencing concludes her case, while the co-accused's trial continues with a verdict expected at May's end, and defense challenges regarding the fatal stabbing remain unresolved.
