A Calgary judge reserved his decision Tuesday on a sentence for a man who deliberately drove over his wife with a U-Haul during an argument and left her to die alone on a snow-covered street.
Ronald Candaele was convicted of second-degree murder a year ago in the February 2020 killing of Melissa Rae Blommaert.
“It was part of a long, terrible cycle of domestic violence which culminated in the offender committing the most heinous offence against Ms. Blommaert, taking her life.” Candaele’s lawyer, Kim Ross, said his client should only have to serve the minimum of 10 years before being eligible for parole, saying the murder was not planned.
In it, she said she has been suffering from anxiety and depression and worries the victim’s two children will eventually find out how she died.
