Nov 4, 2015 | 10:42 AM

KAMLOOPS — A surprise out of the Kamloops courthouse this afternoon.

The two men charged in the brutal 2011 stabbing death of Archie LePretre in a Kamloops schoolyard have pleaded guilty to second degree murder.

Travis Johnny was arrested two years later, and a second man, Anthony Scotchman was arrested and charged last year.

At the time of LePretre’s death, RCMP said the killing was gang-related and the two suspects were also charged with committing an offence for a criminal organization.

Those charges were dropped today.
