Two former police officers who abandoned a Native man in the freezing cold will have their case reopened by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The officers admitted leaving Darryl Night on the outskirts of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. But they said Night asked to be left there.

Ken Munson and Dan Hatchen were eventually convicted of unlawful confinement but not assault. Their convictions were upheld on an appeal and they were sent to jail for eight months.

But the RCMP will revisit the case in response to claims by a fellow officer that there is new evidence.
