One of the investigators accused of misconduct in connection with the Surrey Six murder probe has pleaded guilty to two offences.

Sgt. Derek Brassington appeared in B.C. Supreme Court Friday morning and pleaded guilty to breach of trust and obstruction of justice.

He appeared emotional at times during the proceedings, wiping his eyes while listening to submissions and choking up while making a statement to the court.

He was given a conditional sentence order of two years, less a day, to be served in the community.

The specifics of the submissions and evidence discussed in court cannot be reported due to a publication ban.

Brassington is one of several RCMP officers charged for their alleged conduct while investigating the notorious gangland slayings, along with Staff-Sgt. Dave Attew, Cpl. Paul Johnston and Cpl. Danny Michaud.

All four were all suspended from the force in 2010, and Brassington resigned three years later.

The Surrey Six massacre shocked communities across the Lower Mainland back in 2007, when half a dozen people were gunned down in a high-rise apartment building.

Two innocent bystanders, 22-year-old Christopher Mohan and 55-year-old Ed Schellenberg, were among the victims.

More than a decade later, the case remains one of the biggest murder investigations in B.C. history.

Prosecutors managed to secure convictions against Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnson back in 2014. Both men were handed life sentences after being found guilty on six counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.

Another first-degree murder charge was stayed against Jamie Bacon, who was said to be leader of the Red Scorpion gang at the time.
