Murder nets Prince Albert man life in prison

Apr 16, 2013 | 4:19 PM

MELFORT – A Prince Albert man has been sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 10 years for killing a man described as his friend.

Twenty-three-year-old Antoine Ambrose Lariviere changed his plea to guilty and was sentenced for second-degree murder at Melfort Queen’s Bench on Monday.

Lariviere was arrested last April after the body of Clayton Ralph White, 60, was found on April 21 in his Smeaton area home.

In court it was revealed White died from multiple injuries to his head and abdomen. He suffered a blow to the head from a sharp object – possibly an axe. He also received two gun shots to the abdomen and a single stab wound.

It was said in court the two men were friends, but outside of their relationship no details were given about what led to the attack. The Crown said that is because the circumstances of the incident remain largely unknown because of conflicting statements Lariviere gave to police.

As part of the sentence, the judge recommended Lariviere serve part of it in a psychiatric facility because of his past mental health issues.

A mandatory DNA order and firearms prohibition was also ordered.
