Original story: Spiritwood RCMP is asking the public to report sightings and information on the whereabouts of Nathaniel Dylan Sakebow who has skipped bail on a manslaughter charge.
Sakebow, 33, from Edmonton, Alta., was arrested last year in the death of 38-year-old Teddy Whitehead at a home on Witchekan Lake First Nation.
Spiritwood RCMP say that on April 19 Sakebow was released on bail on conditions, including GPS electronic monitoring and a 24-hour curfew.
