The verdict is ready and set to be read out in court Thursday, in the case of two brothers accused of attempted murder in Kinngait nearly four years ago.
Archie and Laimiki Toonoo were charged following an October 2021 incident in Kinngait that left a woman with serious injuries requiring her to be medevaced to Iqaluit.
Both men pleaded not guilty to an attempted murder charge, but guilty to lesser charges for their roles in attacking the victim.
Archie Toonoo pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm, and Laimiki Toonoo pleaded guilty to aggravated assault.
The trial started in Kinngait in February 2024, but it was paused after only a few days for nearly a year over questions related to evidence.
The two accused appeared in court virtually from an Iqaluit jail Tuesday to set a time for the decision to be read out by Justice Christian Lyons in court on Thursday.
