Teenage girl pleads guilty to attempted murder after student set on fire at Saskatoon school
December 15, 2025
A 16-year-old girl has pleaded guilty to attempted murder for splashing a former friend with lighter fluid and setting her on fire in the hallway of a Saskatoon high school.
The attacker also pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm of a teacher who came to the victim’s aid at Evan Hardy Collegiate in September 2024.
Becky Hamber has testified for the first time at the weeks-long murder trial that has already seen co-accused Brandy Cooney take the witness box. Hamber told Milton, Ont., court Monday that she struggled to care for the 12-year-old boy who died and his brother who were in their care, but she wanted the best for them.
