A Stanley Mission man who plead guilty last week of second-degree murder is expected to be sentenced April 1.

Kane Lenard Roberts, 26, plead guilty to the murder charge Feb. 4 in La Ronge Provincial Court in the death of 45-year-old Jamey Leroy Roberts. He has been in custody since he was first arrested Sept. 27, 2020.

According to an RCMP media release, Stanley Mission RCMP conducted a welfare check on an adult male Sept. 26. Officers from the local detachment, along with health workers in the community, attended the residence and attempted to contact the man.

Police added attempts to speak with the male were unsuccessful and officers instead spoke with another adult male inside the residence. As officers were about to enter the residence, they heard the sound of a firearm being loaded.

Officers immediately retreated and the area surrounding the perimeter of the residence was secured. The Saskatchewan RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT) and crisis negotiators were called to assist, and at 5:15 a.m., the adult male surrendered to police. Jamie Leroy Roberts was found deceased in the residence.
