A former security guard at Langley’s Trinity Western University has been found guilty of manslaughter after he put a suspected burglar in a lethal neck restraint.
Jack Cruthers Hutchison was found guilty of causing the death of Howard Hill by Justice Catherine Murray, in an April 26 decision in New Westminster Supreme Court.
The incident began on Sept. 30, 2020, when the campus was still largely in lockdown during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, and students who lived in residence were largely isolated.
