Federal Justice Minister David Lametti had ordered a new trial for Brian Anderson and Allan Woodhouse

A Manitoba judge has officially acquitted two First Nations men who were convicted of killing a restaurant worker a half century ago.

A Winnipeg courtroom broke out in applause on Tuesday as Justice Glenn Joyal announced acquittals for Brian Anderson and Allan Woodhouse, who were sentenced to life in prison in the death of Ting Fong Chan, a restaurant worker who was fatally stabbed in 1973.

Earlier Tuesday morning, the Crown said it was seeking the acquittal of the two First Nations men.

Crown prosecutor Michelle Jules told the court Tuesday that she would not be calling any evidence.
