Halifax men get four months for prison assault of accused killer Dennis Oland
MIRAMICHI, N.B. — Two Halifax men have been sentenced to four months in jail for assaulting Dennis Oland in a New Brunswick prison last year.
Convicted killer Cody Alexander Muise and Aaron Marriott, who was convicted in a 2008 drug shooting, attacked Oland at Atlantic Institution in Renous, N.B., on July 31 of last year.
Both men pleaded guilty in September as their trial was set to begin.
Oland, a Saint John, N.B., financial planner, was in jail after being convicted of second-degree murder in the 2011 bludgeoning of his multi-millionaire father, businessman Richard Oland. The conviction has since been overturned and Oland released on bail pending a new trial.
