Nanaimo man sentenced for sexual assault and bow-and-arrow killing
A man who admitted to sexually assaulting a Nanaimo teen and killing a Surrey man with a bow and arrow has been sentenced to a decade behind bars.
Green also pleaded guilty to sexual assault causing bodily harm from an August 2007 incident, in which he admitted to driving an intoxicated girl to rural Nanaimo, where he sexually assaulted her and left her. The manslaughter case stemmed from when Green and Palafox resided at the Surrey encampment. Palafox’s body was found June 4, 2020, and Green was considered a prime suspect, stated the court documents. During a sting operation, Green told police that Palafox had stolen items from him and after demanding the return of the items, Green fired two arrows at Palafox. Green checked on the victim afterward and found him to be not breathing, then retrieved pieces of the arrow and threw them in the swamp.
As part of the same undercover operation, Green admitted the girl got into his vehicle, wanting a ride home. He didn’t know her, but knew she was under 18 years old. He punched her in the face during the assault, the documents noted.
