POV man gets life for murder

Alacie Moses, 20, died on Oct. 5, 2004 after she was stabbed in Puvirnituq in front of two children.

Daniel Sivuarapik, 25, a former general repairman at the municipality, was charged with first-degree murder in her death.

On the night of Moses’ death, police found Sivuarapik sitting on a couch, with blood flowing from his chest. He resisted any attempts from police to intervene, saying that he did not want medical care, and preferred to die.

Sivuarapik since recovered from that wound.

On Jan. 28, Sivuarapik, who had pleaded guilty to the murder charge, was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Jacques Viens to life in prison, with no possibility of parole before 10 years.
