Fourth person sentenced in wake of Carnduff man’s death in Regina

A fourth person has been handed a prison sentence in connection with Regina’s sixth homicide of 2021.

Marley Dawn McArthur pleaded guilty to robbery Monday in Regina Court of King’s Bench and was sentenced to five years in prison. A charge of second-degree murder was stayed.

After credit for time on remand, McArthur will spend just under 4 1/2 years behind bars. She also was handed a 10-year firearms prohibition and was ordered to provide a DNA sample.

McArthur and three men – Richard William Snyder, Anthony Allan Rus and Travis Grimoldby – were all charged initially with second-degree murder in the death of Robert Henry Fuchs in June of 2021.

According to a media release from the time, police officers were called to a Regina hospital for a report of an injured man. The man – subsequently identified as Fuchs, a 52-year-old originally from Carnduff – later died and police began a murder investigation.

That investigation led police to a house on the 1300 block of Garnet Street, where McArthur, Snyder and Rus were arrested. Grimoldby was arrested two days later.

In September of last year, Grimoldby pleaded guilty to manslaughter. According to court documents from Regina Provincial Court, he was sentenced to just over nine years in prison.

Also that month, Rus was handed a prison sentence of nearly six years after pleading guilty in Court of King’s Bench to a charge of armed robbery with a prohibited firearm. After credit for his pre-sentence custody, his sentence amounted to four years.

Snyder pleaded guilty in October of last year in Court of King’s Bench to a charge of aggravated assault and received a sentence of just under six years in prison. His sentence totalled four years after he was given credit for time spent on remand.
