She was Beaten to Death, It was Recorded and there is NO JUSTICE

She was Beaten to Death, It was Recorded and there is NO JUSTICE

In April 2017, 19-year-old Serena McKay, an Indigenous high school student from Sagkeeng First Nation, Manitoba, was brutally beaten by two teenage classmates after a house party. The assault was recorded and shared on social media, remaining online for hours before being removed. Serena's body was discovered the next day; she had succumbed to her injuries and hypothermia.

The two teenage girls, aged 16 and 17 at the time, were arrested and charged. Both pleaded guilty—one to manslaughter and the other to second-degree murder—and received the maximum youth sentences under Canadian law. The leniency of these sentences sparked outrage among Serena's family and the broader community, highlighting concerns about the justice system's handling of crimes involving Indigenous victims.

This episode explores the circumstances surrounding Serena's death, the legal proceedings that followed, and the broader issues of justice and accountability in cases involving Indigenous victims.
