David Brayden McLeod, 27, was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without eligibility for parole for 12 years for the second-degree murder of Jacob Larsen
A Prince George man has been sentenced to life in prison without eligibility for parole for 12 years for the "barbaric" slaying of an apparent rival for his wife's affections on the night she had told him their marriage was over.
In issuing the term, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jasvinder Basran confirmed a joint submission from Crown and defence counsels, reached after McLeod pleaded guilty to the offences on the first day of trial in February. However, Basran found the joint submission fell within the range of sentences issued for similar cases and would not bring the justice system into disrepute.
Things appeared to have settled down when Hope arranged to spend the night at Jackson's 1100-block Pulp Mill Road property. Police caught up to McLeod as he made his way south on the Hart Highway and gave him a ride to the Spruceland Mall from where he said he intended to find a motel room to spend the night.
McLeod then appeared in the shop. Concerned about where Larsen may be, Jackson went outside to look for him with McLeod in towand found him laying in a large pool of blood but still breathing. McLeod hit Jackson over the head with the crowbar, knocking him unconscious but not before he dialled 911.
