Family of Chris Hawkins happy with sentence and end of legal ordeal
The two men convicted of beating a man on their farm near Melfort will serve their sentences in the community, rather than behind bars.
Adam and Peter McLean were sentenced to just under two years each in a conditional sentence on charges of assault causing bodily harm.
Shanda Tansowny, the sister of the late Chris Hawkins who was the victim of the beating, said she is both happy with the sentence of both men, and that it’s now over so her family can move on.
“I’m really happy,” she told northeastNOW. “I’m sad because we have a lot of grieving to do as a family and we’ve had to delay that for two years, and of course there’s a part of me that’s angry and wants to throw the wall at them, but at the end of the day all I really want is for people to be better.”
