THUNDER BAY — A Thunder Bay man charged in the death of 63-year-old Richard Jung has been sentenced to six years in jail.
Randy Andrews, 25, pleaded guilty to manslaughter last June and was sentenced in December to six years in jail minus credit for time served pre-trial. Andrews has a little more than four years left to serve.
Thunder Bay police responded to reports of an assault at a residence in the 200 block of Robertson Street the morning of Sept. 20, 2023.
Jung was located at the residence with life-threatening injuries. He was transported to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre for treatment but succumbed to his injuries several days later.
Following Andrews' arrest, police said they did not believe the incident was related to gang activity or drug trafficking.
Andrews was initially arrested and charged with aggravated assault, but the charge was upgraded to second-degree murder following Jung’s death.
The aggravated assault and murder charges were both withdrawn on June 25, 2024.
