SASKATOON – Convicted killer Tye Partridge is charged with aggravated assault following a fight with another inmate at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre.
Partridge is back in Saskatoon Provincial Court July 18 and is expected to appear by CCTV from Edmonton Institution, a maximum-security prison. Court documents show that Partridge’s lawyer Brian Pfefferle anticipates a resolution on that day.
Partridge, now 25, allegedly assaulted fellow inmate Jesse Pooyak about three weeks before he was sentenced in North Battleford Provincial Court to 15 years in prison on a manslaughter charge, and two years concurrent on an aggravated assault charge in a separate incident.
In April 2021, Partridge, from Moosomin First Nation, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 20-year-old Damian Moosomin but had pleaded guilty in May 2022 to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
