Oceanside RCMP say a Nanaimo man received a 13-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to manslaughter in relation to the July 2011 death of Errington resident Douglas Trebble.
Police say as a result of the exhaustive investigation by Oceanside Mounties and Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit, charges were laid against 37-year-old Clayton Donald Brewer, of Nanaimo, on Nov. 27, 2011. On May 31, 2013, Brewer pled guilty to manslaughter in Nanaimo Supreme Court.
