Judge to sentence former Saskatchewan Mountie in shooting death of lover
A judge is expected to give his sentencing decision Tuesday for a former Saskatchewan Mountie who shot and killed his lover in a park.
Bernie Herman was convicted in January of manslaughter in the death of Braden Herman.
The two men are not related.
The naked body of 26-year-old Braden Herman was found in 2021 in the park on the outskirts of Prince Albert, northeast of Saskatoon.
