Woman charged with murder found guilty of manslaughter in stabbing death of friend
Even though she was found guilty in the stabbing death of her friend, Koree Dockstater, 34, left the London Courthouse and remains free on bail. She and her family were escorted out of the building by London police officers after an angry outburst in Courtroom 20 from the family of the stabbing victim once the verdict was handed down. Initially charged with second degree murder in the death Shaniqua Henry, Justice Marc Garson found Dockstater guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter saying, 'Koree stabbed Shaniqua intentionally and unlawfully. However, I have a reasonable doubt that she did so with the required mental element for murder.' During her trial in March, the court heard that Dockstater and the 27-year-old Henry had been hanging out, driving around on the Chippewas of the Thames territory in July of 2022. They had been consuming alcohol and drugs. The court heard they weren't getting along due to an argument over money. A short while later, Henry's body would be found with a fatal stab wound to the chest along a laneway off of Jubilee Road, south of London. Her blood would be found in Dockstater's car. Henry's grandmother, Shirley, who now takes care of Shaniqua's 8-year-old daughter was emotional in and outside the courthouse. 'I feel awful, I've been crying for 365 days for the last four years and I miss her,' she said. Shirley Henry added, 'All her family misses her and it's just terrible that she (Dockstater) don't show any remorse.' The matter has now been put over to Assignment Court on October 21st when a sentencing hearing date is expected to be selected.
