Episode Details

Friends and family of a couple murdered in Abbotsford are outraged after a B.C. judge ruled the killers’ Charter rights have been been breached. Justice Brenda Brown has ruled the Criminal Code’s 25 years without parole infringes on guarantees against cruel and unusual punishment. It means sentencing for the three men who killed Arnold and Joanne De Jong in 2022 has now been pushed to February. Khushveer Toor, Abhijeet Singh and Gurkaran Singh have already been found guilty of first degree murder and will serve life sentences - parole eligibility needs to be decided.
