A Saskatoon man has been sentenced for his part in the death of Roger Byer near Melfort, Sask., in 2010.

Byer, a travelling ATM technician, was last seen servicing a bank machine in January 2010.

His body was found two months later in an abandoned farm yard.

Dwight Windrum, 56, was originally charged with accessory after the fact to murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of obstruction of justice.

He has now been sentenced to two years in jail.

Daniel Smith, 57, was found guilty of second-degree murder in Byer's death earlier this year.

During that trial, court was told Smith and Byer had been plotting to fake an ATM robbery and had gotten into a dispute.
