Man who killed young mother in God’s Lake Narrows in 2015 sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 15 years and 10 months

EDITOR@THOMPSNCITIZEN.NET

The man who murdered Crystal Andrews in God's Lake Narrows in 2015 will spend close to 16 years in prison before he is allowed to apply for parole.

Michael Okemow, 40, was sentenced to life in prison for second-degree murder by Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Chris Martin in God’s Lake Narrows Sept. 4.

Taking into account factors such as Okemow’s upbringing, mental illness and alcohol abuse as well as the impact of the motiveless killing on the remote community, Martin settled on 16 years as the appropriate amount of time Okemow must serve before he is eligible for parole, then subtracted two months from that total due to the conditions Okemow was held in during his twoweek trial in Thompson.

“It is the worst thing that could happen,” Martin said about the early-morning murder of Andrews,

who had a fiancé and two children as well as foster children. “The scars will never heal.”

Anyone accused of second-degree murder must serve at least 10 years of their sentence before being considered for parole, but judges can extend that period of parole ineligibility to as long as 25 years during sentencing. The Crown had argued that Okemow should spend 20 years in prison before being able to apply for parole, while Okemow’s lawyers said the period should be 15 years, with three years subtracted because of his upbringing, mental illness and the conditions he endured in the Thompson RCMP detachment cells while his trial occurred.

Delivering the sentencing in God’s Lake Narrows was an unusual step taken at the request of the community. In January, Martin delivered Okemow’s verdict in Gods Lake Narrows, marking the

The arrangement was made so that Andrews’s family and residents of the community where the crime occurred could be present

for the verdict.

Okemow’s trial was heard in Thompson Jan. 8-20. Court heard that an SUV identified as the one belonging to Okemow's father was seen in the area where Andrews was last

seen walking and that it was found on the morning of Nov. 8, 2015 stuck in the muskeg about 300 metres from where Andrews’s body was found. A vaginal swab sample taken from Andrews during her aut-

opsy contained DNA that matched Okemow’s. Court also heard testimony from Okemow's mother that he arrived at her home late on the afternoon of Nov. 8 with wet clothes and that he then proceeded to take a shower and wash the clothes he had been wearing. A pair of his shoes found by police in a box in a crawl space in his parents’ home’s basement were found to have similar characteristics to shoes that caused bruising on Andrews’s face.

Okemow told police in statements around the time of the killing that he didn’t know who Andrews was and that he had been carjacked by two unknown assailants who choked him unconscious in his vehicle and that he woke up the next day in a ditch. Although he had been a suspect since right after Andrews’s murder, Okemow wasn’t charged until March 2018, about two-and-a-half years after the killing.

Being held in ‘awful’ Thompson RCMP detachment cells during trial reason to reduce prison sentence by two months, judge says

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

A week in one of the Thompson RCMP detachment holding cells is worth a couple of months in prison, a judge said while sentencing a God’s Lake Narrows man to life in prison without the possibility of parole for at least 15 years and 10 months.

Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Chris Martin knocked two months off the minimum parole eligibility for Miachael Okemow,

who was found guilty of second-degree murder in the 2015 death of Crystal Andrews, because he had to stay in one of the Thompson detachment’s 11 holding cells for five or six nights during his two-week trial in January. On weekends he was flown back to The Pas Correctional Centre.

Martin said he recalled from a tour that the cells are about 15 feet by 15 feet, with a concrete bench along with some blankets or a mattress on top serving as a bed. Prisoners being held

there do not have access to the outdoors or to any type of exercise and no way to see or talk to other people unless they have a cellmate when police are forced to put more than one person in a cell due to prisoners volumes.

“The cell is like solitary confinement,” said Martin in his decision. “It is, as a local judge described, inhumane, more so for Michael, suffering as he was with major mental illness, which was a daily concern throughout the trial. More-

Police use canoe to rescue Norway House woman in neck-deep water Norway House RCMP officers used a canoe to rescue a woman neck-deep in a swampy area Sept. 17.

Police were responding to a report of an assault at a residence and arrived to find that the female victim had left and walked into a swampy area behind the house seeking safety. She was located in water up to her neck, in distress and calling for help.

The RCMP officers found a canoe and paddled and portaged to the woman, who was near drowning. They pulled her out of the water and back to shore. She was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police continue to investigate.

over, as a matter of humanity in a civilized society, whether he was guilty or not is beside the point but he was at the time presumed innocent.”

Martin said Canadian courts have long held that poor treatment by the Crown, by the court itself or by the judicial system in general is a valid consideration during sentencing, though it is rarely done and there is not set formula for how credit a judge should give for pre-trial or during trial detention in substandard facilities.

“Here, given the severe nature of the remand facility in Thompson, and the time Micheal spent in it, notably while suffering a major mental disorder, this is one of the rare cases where his sentence, reflected in parole ineligibility, should be reduced to signal the court’s repugnance for how he was held. To be clear, nothing I have stated should be taken as a criticism of RCMP or Sheriff services. They deserve praise for working with the tools they are given

and showing empathy.”

Based on the circumstances of the crime and Okemow’s background, Martin calculated that 16 years before being eligible

for parole was appropriate.

“Because of the awful way he was held in jail during the trail, I am reducing that by two months,” Martin said.
