A man arrested five years after the 2010 murder of Karina Wolfe has been sentenced to life in prison.
Jerry Constant, 34, was sentenced at Saskatoon’s Queen’s Bench court Friday after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and offering indignity to human remains.
He was handed a life sentence with no chance of parole for 14 years in connection to the murder plea and given a five-year sentence for the indignity plea. The five-year sentence will be served concurrently with the life sentence.
Twenty-year-old Wolfe, whose body was found in November of last year in a marshy area near Saskatoon’s airport, disappeared in July 2010.
Constant was the tipster who led investigators to Wolfe’s body, according to police. He walked into Saskatoon’s police station and told officers what happened to her and where to find her remains.
He was charged weeks later. Her body had likely been in the same location since July 2010, police said after the arrest.
Constant was found fit to stand trial in December of last year.
