Lethbridge man pleads guilty to manslaughter
LETHBRIDGE – It was a tearful afternoon (Nov. 28) in Court of Queen’s Bench, as Randall William Enright entered a plea of guilty to manslaughter.
The plea comes more than a year after 29-year old Matthew James Flitton was killed in his north side home on September 18, 2015.
Matthew Flitton had agreed to let Enright stay in his home, after he had been kicked out of his girlfriend’s home because of a “three month meth binge.”
The day Flitton was killed, his wife – whom he had been separated from for about six months at that time – stopped by the house and learned that Enright was staying there. Flitton acknowledged that Enright had been paranoid, and that he had even taken the step of hiding all the knives in the house as a result. When she asked why he was letting Enright stay, Flitton responded, “Because he is a friend and that’s what friends do.”
