Andrew Jongbloets has been found guilty of manslaughter in the deaths of 23-year-old Matthew Hennigar and 22-year-old Kalvin Andy in Anahim Lake on December 26, 2014. Serena Rhem (Mack) and Christian Cracuin have been acquitted.
All three were initially charged with second-degree murder. Charges of manslaughter using a firearm against Bella Coola residents Lucille Mack and Steven Mecham were dropped last year.
Bryan “Everett” O’Reilly is charged with first degree murder in the slayings. O’Reilly’s trial will begin in January 2018.
