A number of alleged Native Syndicate gang members charged in a violent home invasion in North Battleford are said to have beaten up the wrong guy.

Crown Prosecutor Suzanne Reid alleges Dwayne Katcheech and at least four other men seeking revenge for another attempted home invasion went to the wrong home January 26th and beat up an innocent man.

Reid told provincial court yesterday Katcheech was accompanied by Ryan Osecap, and Charles Joseph Applegarth, Steven Moccasin and Winston Night.

Osecap is alleged to have kicked in the door of the home, telling victim Lance Moosomin that this is what happens to those who mess with the Native Syndicate.

Moosomin was beaten several times with a pipe and was knocked out as a result of the beating.

He suffered several injuries, including two lacerations to his head.

Katcheech will be appearing in court via videoconference on February 22nd.
