Nunavut Man Found Guilty in Death of RCMP Constable

A Nunavut man has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of an RCMP Constable originally from Brockville.

20-year-old Constable Doug Scott was shot in November 2007 in Kimmirut on Baffin Island.

39-year-old Pingoatuk Kolola faces an automatic life sentence with no parole eligibility for at least 25 years.

He never disputed that he shot Constable Scott, but said he fired his gun to scare him away, not to hurt him.
