The federal justice minister has ordered a new trial for two Manitoba men who were convicted of murder nearly 50 years ago.
Brian Anderson and Allan Woodhouse were convicted of murder in 1974 in the death of Ting Fong Chan, who was working at a Winnipeg restaurant when he was stabbed. Anderson and Woodhouse were sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for parole for 10 years.
According to a news release, the minister determined that there is a “reasonable basis to conclude that a miscarriage of justice likely occurred.” Lametti added that he made this determination based on new information that was not before the courts during the trials or appeals.
