Marlene Henderson sentenced to jail for aggravated assault
About a dozen of Marlene Henderson’s family members hugged her goodbye after she was sentenced to 18 months in jail Wednesday morning at the Court of Queen’s Bench in Prince Albert.
Marlene was originally charged with second-degree murder in relation to the death of her cousin, Helen Henderson, on Apr. 4, 2008.
However, she ended up pleading guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated assault because the prosecution was unable to prove Marlene’s actions caused Helen’s death.
The court heard that Marlene and Helen were partying with two other family relatives, and at about 1:00 a.m., Marlene began to kick Helen in the stomach because of a jealousy over a man.
