The long pursuit of justice for Megan Gallagher continued in court on Thursday.
Two women, Cheyann Peeteetuce, 31, and Summer-Sky Henry, 26, who were facing first-degree murder charges in connection to the death of Megan Gallagher pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
The trial began on Jan. 6, with Justice Richard Danyliuk ordering an interim publication ban on all evidence presented during the proceedings, as two others charged in Gallagher’s death are still awaiting trial.
In total, nine have been charged in connection to the case.
The courtroom fell silent as Gallagher’s family and friends reacted with sighs and tears as both women read their pleas.

“I was sick to my stomach,” said Brian Gallagher, Megan’s father. “I’ve got a strong stomach, but this has really got me.”
Megan was last seen alive in 2020. She was missing for two years before her body was found in the South Saskatchewan River.
