Two men were determined guilty of manslaughter in the death of Jeanenne Fontaine by a Jury.

The verdict was delivered this morning in a Winnipeg courtroom.

Christopher Brass and Jason Meilleur pleaded not guilty.

Fontaine was shot in the back of the head inside her house, which was then set on fire.

During the trial, the jury was told the two men went to the home, with a third man, Malcolm Miles Mitchell, to collect a drug debt from the victim’s boyfriend.

When the boyfriend wasn’t home, they decided to rob Fontaine.

The jury was also told Mitchell was the shooter.

The trial had been going on since January 7th.
