Two plead guilty to bloody assault

Two young Iqaluit residents pleaded guilty to aggravated assault charges in court this week.

The charges date back to early August, when RCMP discovered a 28-year-old man bleeding from multiple stab wounds near the Arnakadlak building, in the early morning of Aug 1.

The victim had surgery in the Baffin Regional Hospital for stab wounds to his stomach and neck.

Douglas Katsak, 18, and Jason Kilabuk, 21, were both charged with aggravated assault, attempted murder and robbery.

They’re to appear in court next for pre-sentencing reports on Nov. 14.
