One of the several accused in the death of a Windsor man in 2021 has been found guilty of the lesser charge of second-degree murder.
Dwayne Jahton Blair of Scarborough was also found guilty in Sarnia court on Tuesday of kidnapping following a month long trial into the death of Oyebode Oyenuga.
Blair was charged with first-degree murder after the 25-year-old's remains were found on Walpole Island First Nation on March 17, 2021, one month after he was reported missing.
A total of eight people were arrested in the murder investigation.
In December of 2023, two people were sentenced, while charges against two others were withdrawn.
Blair is scheduled to appear in Sarnia court again on Wednesday, April 1, to set a date for sentencing.
