16-Year-Old Pleads Guilty to Attempted Murder After Saskatoon School Fire Attack
The teen, diagnosed with multiple psychological disorders, faces a recommended maximum youth sentence of three years including two in rehabilitative custody, lawyers said.
- A 16-year-old girl pleaded guilty to attempted murder for setting a fellow student on fire at Evan Hardy Collegiate in Saskatoon in September 2024.
- The victim suffered burns to 40% of her body, requiring months of hospital treatment and multiple surgeries, impacting her education and recovery.
- The offender received a three-year sentence, including two years in intensive rehabilitative custody and one year of community supervision, which was the maximum under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
- The Crown chose not to pursue an adult sentence because the youth lacked adult-like maturity, and the rehabilitative custody was recommended to address underlying mental health issues.
