Salluit man sentenced for accidental shooting

Judge Donald Bissonnette sentenced Nulukie Kaitak, 19, to four years in the shooting death of Rose Ruth Kaitak in August.

The time Kaitak spent in preventive custody was not taken into account in this sentence.

Kaitak pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing death.

According to police, Kaitak shot with a rifle into the ceiling, while his sister was sleeping upstairs in her crib. Three shots were fired; one lodged in the sleeping baby, fatally injuring her.

Nooma Oweetaluktuk, 32, also of Inukjuak, received 30 months for an assault and an aggravated assault, both involving a knife. One victim received eight separate stab wounds.

Full Gospel minister gets jail term

Last week in Salluit, Lucassie Kanarjuak, 58, of Ivujivik, was sentenced to three years in jail for two sexual assault charges after pleading guilty before Judge Donald Bissonette.

Kanarjuak received a sentence of 36 months for a rape committed in the 1980s on a minor under 14.

Kanarjuak also received a six-month sentence for incitement to sexual touching with a minor under 14. This sentence will be served concurrently with the 36-month sentence.

In 1999, Kanarjuak, a long-time Full Gospel minister, was acquitted on sex charges involving a minor after two confused years of delays.

In addition to his position as pastor of Ivujivik's Full Gospel congregation, Kanarjuak was known locally for many years as the proprietor of a small store called the Mushroom Shop, so-named for its ever-plentiful stock of canned mushrooms.
