Fort Jail

A Fort Frances area man will spend at least the next 20 years in jail for the murder 2-years ago of an 18-year-old teenager.

Bronson Harvey Green was sentenced to life in prison, with no eligibility for parole for 20 years, for second-degree murder of Ashley Janelle Smith of Northwest Bay, northwest of Fort Frances.

The two, who were not romantically involved, had been drinking whisky and smoking marijuana.

A police investigation and forensic testing concluded that Smith had been sexually assaulted and brutally kicked in the head and face.
