Accused pleads to manslaughter, murder charge dropped

KITCHENER In a sudden turn of events, accused murderer Noel Francis pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a Kitchener courtroom on Thursday.

The first-degree murder charge he originally faced was dropped.

The Crown and defence presented the joint position before Justice Patrick Flynn and the 14-person jury just weeks after the first-degree murder trial began.

The jury was then discharged by Flynn.

Francis will be sentenced on Friday when a victim impact statement by Devane Campbell's mother is expected to be heard.

Campbell, 20, of Brantford, was shot twice after a botched home invasion in Kitchener on Nov. 30, 2012.

Francis, 30, of Toronto was arrested on April 30, 2015 in the murder of Campbell. He had been in custody since his arrest.
