The offender pleaded guilty to manslaughter, production of shatter, arson, and drug offences after an explosion in his apartment caused the death of a friend.
The explosion occurred due to the ignition of butane fumes used in the production of shatter.
The court assessed the offender's moral blameworthiness as mid to high range, noting the foreseeable danger of cooking shatter in a residential building.
The offender was sentenced to a total of 6 years in custody, less pre-trial custody credit.
