An Alberta court has found a Langdon man who attacked and fatally injured his mother in 2023 was not criminally responsible (NCR) in her death.
The Alberta Court of King’s Bench released a decision in the case against Scott DeMolitor on Thursday.
The court said DeMolitor, who was 31, was originally charged with second-degree murder following the assault, which took place at the family’s home on May 26, 2023. That charge was later downgraded to manslaughter.
DeMolitor’s mother Audra, 56, died of her injuries in hospital on June 7, 2023.
At the hearing, held on Oct. 1 and 2, DeMolitor admitted his guilt in his mother’s death.
