Woman who stabbed two Castlegar teens sentenced to six years
The woman who entered a Castlegar home and stabbed two teen girls on Feb. 21, 2021, was sentenced to six years in custody by Judge Robert Brown at the Castlegar Courthouse on Dec. 13.
The mother of one of the victims says the sentence is disappointing, as she was hoping for at least seven years. The night of the attack, Prokaski entered a home where the two teenagers were sleeping. An altercation ensued with both teens being stabbed, and one of the pair receiving multiple serious stab wounds. Prokaski and the victims, whose identities are protected under a publication ban, did not know each other.
Once inside, Prokaski began ranting about people knowing too much, that she needed to kill herself and that the teens needed to kill themselves. Police found Prokaski near Kinsmen Park, about a block from were the attack took place, with the knife and clothing hid nearby.The victim with the most severe injuries was left with a permanent disability. Before the attack the teen was a competitive gymnast, but the injuries have left her with mobility issues and no hopes of rejoining the sport.
