Sentencing Hearing For Regina Couple Guilty In Girl's Death, Neglect Of Sister

Darpan News Desk IANS, 12 Feb, 2016 11:55 AM
    REGINA — The Crown says a Regina woman convicted of second-degree murder in a little girl's death should serve at least 18 to 20 years of her life sentence before being eligible for parole.
     
    Prosecutor Kim Jones says the woman's husband, convicted of manslaughter, should also be sentenced to life with no chance of parole for seven years.
     
    Jones is also suggesting eight years for Tammy and Kevin Goforth for unlawfully causing bodily harm to the dead girl's younger sister.
     
    The girls, who can't be identified because of a publication ban, were in the Goforths' care and were rushed to hospital in the summer of 2012.
     
    They were found to be malnourished, dehydrated and with cuts and bruises on their bodies.
     
    The four-year-old died a few days later from a brain injury after suffering cardiac arrest; her two-year-old sister survived.
