A Saskatchewan judge is set to deliver his decision on whether to give bail to two sisters who have spent nearly 30 years in prison for what they say are wrongful murder convictions.
Odelia and Nerissa Quewezance were convicted of second-degree murder in the 1993 stabbing death of 70-year-old Saskatchewan farmer Anthony Dolff near Kamsack.We deliver the local news you need in these turbulent times on weekdays at 3 p.m.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

The Crown prosecutor argued that even if there were issues with the police investigation, there was still enough evidence to show the sisters were involved in the killing. Lockyer told a bail hearing in January that the sisters encountered “a police station full of white men” after their arrest. He said they were held in the station for days despite court orders to have them moved and their statements were never recorded.
Odelia Quewezance was 20 years old and her sister was 18 when they were arrested. Both sisters attended residential schools.
