A man has pleaded guilty in connection with the death of a teenager two years ago.

Timothy Hudson, 17, was found dead in a stairwell of a Manitoba Housing Building on Kennedy Street in 2008.

Bradley Elsliger was charged with second-degree murder and a trial was set to begin on Nov. 9.

On Monday, however, Elsliger pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter.

A sentencing date will be set in April.
