Ex-Boyfriend Gets 2 More Years for Brutal Attack
13 May
Summary
- Man sentenced again for attempted murder of ex-girlfriend.
- Assault in 2018 lasted many hours with severe injuries.
- Dangerous offender designation includes 10 years supervision.
Cory Smockum, aged 44, has been sentenced for a second time to two additional years in federal prison for the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend. The original charge stems from a sustained and violent assault that took place on October 13, 2018, near Hanley, Saskatchewan.
Smockum's conviction was initially overturned in 2024, leading to a new sentencing in Saskatoon. He pleaded guilty in January, and the Crown and defence jointly recommended the two-year sentence. This, combined with enhanced credit for time served, results in a total prison term exceeding 13 years.
During the prolonged 2018 assault, Smockum choked his ex-partner to unconsciousness multiple times and threatened her life. The woman sustained severe injuries including broken ribs, a brain bleed, and facial fractures.
Smockum has been declared a dangerous offender, a designation that mandates 10 years of long-term supervision following his release. This rigorous supervision regime ensures he faces strict monitoring under Canadian law.
