BC court sentences attacker of UBCO security guard to 15 years in prison

Supreme Court of British Columbia Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes has sentenced the man who killed a security guard at the University of British Columbia Okanagan to 15 years in prison. The offender pleaded guilty to manslaughter. The victim, Harmandeep Kaur, and the offender both worked on campus and were at the university on the morning of the attack. “Offences of this nature cause immediate harm to the victims and their families and friends,” stated Holmes, “but they also reduce the quality of life in the community as a whole, leaving all of us in a constant state of distrust and watchfulness.”
