The man who fatally stabbed his classmate in a Leduc high school back in 2021 was sentenced to life without parole for the next 12 years on Thursday.
22 year old Dylan Pountney was convicted of second degree murder in July. The trial heard Pountney was 19 when he stabbed the girl in front of horrified students and a teacher during a break in a social studies class at Christ the King School. She stood up then collapsed near the classroom door
A chief medical officer testified the girl died from blood loss caused from five wounds near her neck and shoulders. A Crown prosecutor urged Justice Eric Macklin to order Pountney serve 15 years before he’s eligible for parole. The defence recommended 10 years.
Pountney will be given credit for time served as he’s been in custody since 2021.
