Life Sentences for Two Women Convicted in Child Murder | Edmonton News
Description
Today in Milton, Ontario, a chilling sentencing hearing begins for Becky Hamber and Brandy Cooney, convicted of first-degree murder and abuse in the death of a 12-year-old Indigenous boy and the torture of his younger brother. Found guilty in May, they now face mandatory life sentences with no parole for 25 years — a verdict fueled by harrowing evidence of child abuse, self-harm, and neglect. The pair had been attempting to adopt the boys, who were discovered malnourished and traumatized in a basement. The case has ignited national debate over child welfare systems and the failures that allowed this tragedy to unfold.
