Manitoba murder trial of Ryan Manoakeesick
Overview
Ryan Manoakeesick, a 32-year-old Manitoba man accused of murdering five family members, has fired his legal team for the second time this year. Manoakeesick faces five counts of first-degree murder regarding the February 2024 deaths of his common-law partner, Amanda Clearwater, their three children, and Clearwater’s 17-year-old niece.
During a hearing in the Court of King's Bench, Justice Candace Grammond warned Manoakeesick that his trial dates are “effectively written in stone.” A judge-alone trial is scheduled to begin on April 5, 2027, and the court emphasized that he must be prepared to proceed on that date regardless of his legal representation status.
