Mitchell Sydlowski is back in prison after being accused of assaulting his girlfriend while intoxicated while on parole.
Sydlowski, now 33, was sentenced in 2020 after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the 2017 death of a Thormsby, Alta., gas station owner.
He was let out on parole for the second time in November 2023.
He had been living in an unidentified community and being driven to work as a general labourer in "the city" for just over two months when his parole was suspended.
One day in January, he was arrested by police in a different city.
Later, Sydlowski would tell the parole board that he took an Uber there because he believed his girlfriend of a month and a half was cheating and she wouldn't answer his calls. He admitted to consuming alcohol, contrary to his conditions of release.
He is accused of threatening to kill her, a male friend, and himself, as well as attempting to strangle her. She was not seriously hurt.
