Regina man pleads guilty to criminal negligence in death of woman in Punnichy
Ethan Sunshine has pled guilty to criminal negligence in connection to the 2023 death of Kihaw Fox.
The 29-year-old from Regina submitted a guilty plea while appearing at Court of King’s Bench on Monday.
He was originally charged with second degree murder in addition to criminal negligence causing death.
Sunshine was issued a sentence of eight years. However, after credit for time he’s already spent behind bars, his sentence was reduced to 2,244 days or a little more than six years.
In addition to the guilty plea, Sunshine also faced several firearms charges, which were stayed during the proceedings, according to the court.

Punnichy is located approximately 120 kilometres northeast of Regina.
