Two cousins who beat and tied up a 45-year-old man on a farm near Melfort in 2022 were given a two-year sentence on Monday, which will be served in the community.
Thirty-six-year-old Adam McLean and 60-year-old Peter McLean were sentenced to serve their time in the community after pleading guilty to assault causing bodily harm against Christopher Hawkins.
Hawkins was an agronomist who struggled with his mental health.
RCMP said Hawkins walked onto the McLean farm to take photos of combines in August of 2022, when he was beaten bloody and bound with cable ties.
Court saw surveillance video that showed Hawkins pulled from his vehicle and repeatedly kicked. He laid still on the ground while the men yelled slurs at him.
“What the f**k are you doing in this yard,” a voice could be heard from the video.
“Do not f**kin’ move or you’re gonna be hurt.”
