A 21 year old Elsipoktok man has been sentenced to four years after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a minor and child-porn related charges. Billy Ray Peters was given credit for time already spent in custody, leaving him with 40 months still to serve.
Police arrested him after an investigation into online images of child sexual abuse. A second matter involved the sexual assault of a minor and breach of court-ordered conditions.
A sentencing hearing was held yesterday for Matthew Tucker who killed his mother outside St. Stephen in 2014.
Tucker told the judge he doesn’t remember murdering Dorothy Tucker in Oak Haven, but now suffers a guilty feeling in the bottom of his stomach. 36 year old Tucker, who was found guilty of second degree murder in November, said he had been awake for four days when he killed his mother with a shotgun and had been living in fear. He said he also didn’t remember wrapping her body in plastic and burying it in the woods where it was found a week and a half later by hunters.
Justice William Grant reserved sentencing until January 25th.
