REGINA — A Regina man has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for the city’s first homicide of 2025.
Dennis Trevor Hotomanie, 40, was sentenced in Regina Provincial Court on Nov. 26 after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the death of 46-year-old Terrance Hotomanie of Carry the Kettle First Nation.
Hotomanie was initially charged with first-degree murder, but the charge was reduced to manslaughter on Nov. 18. He elected to be tried by a provincial court judge.
According to Regina Police Service, on Feb. 18, officers and EMS were dispatched to a call near a business in the city’s downtown in the 1500 block of 12th Avenue shortly after 8 p.m. They found Terrance Hotomanie dead at the scene. Investigators from the Major Crime Unit and Forensic Identification were called in to investigate.
Court documents reveal that Judge Kevin Lang handed Dennis Hotomanie a sentence of 14 years and 55 days in a federal penitentiary. With 280 days of pre-sentence custody credited as 420 days, his remaining sentence amounts to 13 years.
In addition to prison time, he was banned from owning firearms for life and ordered to provide a DNA sample.
