Passenger found guilty of second-degree murder in Winnipeg bus driver stabbing
WINNIPEG — A jury found a passenger guilty of second-degree murder Thursday for stabbing a Winnipeg transit operator who had removed him from a bus at the end of a late-night shift.
Irvine Jubal Fraser, 58, was stabbed multiple times during a fight with Brian Kyle Thomas in February 2017.
Thomas, wearing a white dress shirt and a white rosary around his neck, stared ahead as the verdict was read out.
Second-degree murder carries an automatic sentence of life imprisonment with parole eligibility between 10 years and 25 years, which will be decided at a future hearing.
