Convicted of second-degree murder, Brad Southwind was sentenced last week for the 'horrific' stabbing death of Joseph Topping in Elliot Lake in February 2018
Brad Southwind has been sentenced to life imprisonment in a federal penitentiary with no chance of parole for 15 years for a "brutal" unprovoked knife attack that killed his best friend six years ago.
Varpio found him guilty of second-degree murder in the death of the 31-year-old victim earlier this year. His actions had a traumatic effect on Topping's family and friends, with his unexpected death leaving them "with a hole in their lives" and causing them "considerable grief," the judge said. The penalty for second-degree murder is a life sentence with parole eligibility between 10 and 25 years.
At his sentencing hearing in July, he had mumbled some words when the judge asked if he wanted to say anything to the court. As a result, it's difficult to assess the offender's character, Varpio said, indicating that he was able to draw certain conclusions from the evidence.
