A Saskatoon woman accused of manslaughter five months ago has broken her silence after her charge was stayed.
Paige Theriault-Fisher, 22, was charged in the death of Hodan Hashi.
Hashi, 23, died in a bar fight at Lit Nightclub in Saskatoon on Nov. 5, 2022. Theriault-Fisher was the other woman involved in the fight.
“This was never meant to happen,” Theriault-Fisher said. “If I could give everything back, I would take that day back and I really wish Hodan was with us today.”
She was initially charged with second-degree murder, but that charge was reduced to manslaughter shortly after.
The Crown prosecutor’s evidence suggests the fight was mutual and no weapons were involved. Hashi was fatally cut by a piece of broken glass when both women fell to the ground.
The prosecutor concluded Hashi’s death was a result of an “accident.” The charge was stayed on Tuesday.
