Accused Manitoba killer warned by judge his meth addiction could cost him his family
The man accused of killing five family members, including his three young children, was warned by a judge to get his methamphetamine addiction under control or risk losing everything.
Ryan Howard Manoakeesick faces five counts of first−degree murder in the deaths of his 30−year−old common−law partner, six−year−old daughter, four−year−old son and two−month−old baby girl, as well as his partner’s 17−year−old niece.
A judge had warned Manoakeesick years earlier that he needed help with his addiction before things "completely spiral out of control."
