Facebook Selfie Helps Nail Woman, 20, Who Murdered Friend

Saskatoon police has said that a Facebook selfie was instrumental in a murder investigation that ended in a guilty plea and a seven-year prison sentence for the killer. Cheyenne Rose Antoine, 21, has pleaded guilty  to killing Brittney Gargol, two years ago. Gargol was found strangled to death near a landfill in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with Antoine’s belt near her body. Antoine was sentenced to seven years for manslaughter.
She was identified as a suspect after she posted a selfie on Facebook of the two of them, showing her wearing the belt hours before Gargol died. Antoine, who was initially charged with second-degree murder, showed up at another friend’s house hysterical the night of the murder and confessed to hitting Gargol and strangling her. She said they had got drunk and into a heated argument.  As part of her plea, Antoine accepted responsibility for Gargol’s death but said she does not remember killing her. “I will never forgive myself. Nothing I say or do will ever bring her back. I am very, very sorry. It shouldn’t have ever happened,” she said in a statement through her lawyer. Before Antoine was sentenced, Gargol’s aunt gave a victim impact statement to the court.

“Most days we can’t stop thinking about Brittney what happened that night, what she must have felt fighting for her life,” Jennifer Gargol said.
