A B-C man has been sentenced to nine years in prison for fatally shooting a woman in Surrey two years ago, and for an unrelated robbery two months earlier.
The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to manslaughter for killing a 20-year-old sex worker in May 2021, and to a robbery and a weapons charge for holding up a poker game in Burnaby in March that same year.
The man was sentenced to 12 years behind bars for the offences, which was reduced to nine years and 34 days after credit for time served.
He has also been ordered to submit a D-N-A sample and received a lifetime firearms ban.
