The jury needed a couple of days to hand down the guilty verdict for manslaughter, as well as unlawful confinement and offering indignity to human remains.

Megan Gallagher was killed inside Sutherland’s garage on Weldon Avenue in Saskatoon in September 2020. Her body was transported by truck and thrown off the St. Louis Bridge into the river. Gallagher’s remains were located a couple of years later.

One man had been previously convicted of second degree murder, two women were sentenced on manslaughter charges, while three others pled guilty to offering an indignity to human remains.

For years, Gallagher’s family worked tirelessly to keep her case in the public eye, organizing walks and publicly pleading for information to find her.
