A Pelican Narrows man has been sentenced to three months in prison plus a 12-month probation period for starting a fire that claimed the life of a young girl.
In September of 2013, 10-year-old Denasia Highway died in a fire at her grandparents’ house.
Darryl Sewap was initially charged with arson and criminal negligence causing death.
The charge of arson was dropped earlier this year after Sewap pleaded guilty to the criminal negligence charge.
Earlier this week, he was sentenced to an 18-month jail term — but was given 15 months credit for time already served.
