Facebook selfie helps convict killer who strangled her best friend – because it shows the belt she used to throttle her. Brittney Gargol, 18, was strangled to death by Cheyenne Rose Antoine, 21, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada in March 2015.
Antoine has now been found guilty of manslaughter thanks to the image of the pair together. The teenager’s body was found dumped by a road south of Saskatoon on March 25, 2015, with a belt discovered nearby.
A photo of Gargol and Antoine – her best friend – had been posted to Facebook six hour before the body was discovered. The photo shows Antoine wearing a belt that matched the one found near the body.

Antoine also posted on Gargol’s Facebook, writing ‘Where are you? Haven’t heard from you. Hope you made it home safe,’ in an alleged attempt to cover her tracks.
Antoine initially told police that the pair had been out drinking on the eve of Gargol’s death but that she had gone home with an unknown man at the end of the night and did not know what had happened to her friend.
Antoine said: ‘I will never forgive myself, Nothing I say or do will ever bring her back. I am very, very sorry…It shouldn’t have ever happened.’
Antoine later admitted to the court that the pair had gotten into an argument, but that she does not remember killing Gargol. She pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to seven years in prison on Monday.
