Nathan Russell Mullen has been sentenced to eight years in prison, stemming from a manslaughter case that occurred in 2014.
Mullen was sentenced on Aug. 16 in Estevan. He was credited with double time served for the 40 months he has already spent incarcerated, meaning he has already been credited with 80 months of the 96-month sentence.
He must also serve two-thirds of the remaining 16 months on his sentence.
Mullen pleaded guilty to manslaughter in December 2016 in the death of Leslie Erin Dwyre.
Dwyre was found dead in an apartment on Petterson Drive on April 21, 2014, after the Estevan Police Service (EPS) were notified of an incident in the residence. She was 27 at the time.
Mullen, who had been in a relationship with Dwyre, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder shortly after the incident, which was described as a domestic situation, and has been in custody since his arrest.
His sentencing had been delayed a couple of times earlier this year.
Dwyre, who was originally from Brockville, Ont., had lived in the Estevan area for a couple of years and had taught at Bienfait Weldon School and Hillcrest School.
