A man convicted of manslaughter in the 2020 deaths of two Métis hunters has been granted day parole.
Maurice Cardinal and his nephew Jacob Sansom were moose hunting in March 2020 when they were fatally shot and left on the side of the road near Glendon, Alta., about 200 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.
Roger Bilodeau was convicted of manslaughter in both deaths and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
His son Anthony Bilodeau was convicted of second-degree murder in both deaths and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Both men have filed appeals.
According to court documents, Roger Bilodeau chased the victims for seven kilometres after they drove by the Bilodeau property.
He eventually blocked the vehicle occupied by the victims, and Anthony Bilodeau arrived in a second vehicle and shot both Cardinal and Sansom, according to the documents.
