Story here. Excerpt:

'An Edmonton woman who fatally stabbed her common-law husband in the back while drunk and then blamed others – including her daughter – has now owned up to it.

Norma Elaine Janvier, 40, pleaded guilty Friday in Court of Queen’s Bench to a reduced charge of manslaughter for the Sept. 25, 2008, killing of David Owen O’Donnell, 57.

Janvier had been charged with second-degree murder, however the Crown consented to accepting a guilty plea to the lesser and included offence.

According to agreed facts, Janvier and O’Donnell had been together for about three years and were living at an apartment in north Edmonton at the time of the stabbing.'
