Man pleads guilty in Yorkton stabbing

After a woman was stabbed in Yorkton back in September, the accused is now admitting to the act.

On Tuesday, Skylar Redstar, 32, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and assault at provincial court in Yorkton.

Redstar received five years in jail, but with time served he will spend four years seven months behind bars.

It was Sept. 19, 2016 when officers were called to a home on Parkview Road in Yorkton for a report of a stabbing. That’s where a woman was found injured, and taken to a nearby hospital with injuries not considered life threatening.

Redstar was located and arrested a short time later.
