A man charged in the death of his girlfriend is headed to prison after he was found guilty of murder.
Ally Moosehunter was found dead in her Hampton Village home March of 2020.
Soon after, her boyfriend, Ivan Roberto Martell was charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death.
According to testimony during Martell's trial, Moosehunter died from multiple sharp and blunt force injuries and manual compression of the neck
The defence argued Martell was dealing drugs and could not have been at her home during the time she was killed, it was also stated he learned of her death from social media.
Justice Neil Robertson said he found the defence case improbable. He also said Moosehunter's "sexual integrity was violated."
Admitted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki’s defence lawyers have argued the accused had a history of schizophrenic delusions culminating in ‘catastrophic circumstances,’ while Crown prosecutors say the killings of four vulnerable Indigenous women were driven by Skibicki’s racist views and deviant sexual urges.
