An Ontario man convicted in the killings of two women in Toronto that took place nearly four decades ago was sentenced on Friday to life in prison with no chance of parole for 21 years.CBC NewsJoseph George Sutherland, 61, of Moosonee, Ont., was convicted of second-degree murder in connection with the killings of Susan Tice and Erin Gilmour in 1983.
Gilmour was an aspiring fashion designer and the daughter of mining tycoon David Gilmour. Tice was a family therapist and mother of four teenagers. But because of the "extreme gravity of these offences," the sentence and period of parole ineligibility cannot be lower, she said."The deaths of Susan Tice and Erin Gilmour were not quick and they were not painless. Ms. Tice suffered numerous defensive injuries as she fought for her life. Ms. Gilmour was bound and gagged. They were killed in their homes, which should have been places of sanctuary," she added.
