Vancouver Mother Convicted Of Killing Infant Sons To Be Sentenced Today

Darpan News Desk Darpan, 07 Oct, 2014 09:52 AM
    VANCOUVER - A Vancouver woman convicted of killing her two newborn sons is expected to find out her sentence on Tuesday morning.
     
    Sarah Leung was convicted in April of two counts of infanticide for the separate deaths of her boys in April 2009 and March 2010.
     
    Leung's trial has heard she gave birth twice in the bathroom of her family's home and secretly disposed of the infants because she feared she would be disowned by her parents.
     
    Court heard Leung's father found the first baby dead in a plastic bag outside the family home and called police, but the body of the second baby was never found.
     
    Leung has apologized for her actions, and her lawyer has told the court she was psychologically disturbed and overly dependent on her family.
     
    The Crown has asked for an eight-year prison sentence, while Leung's lawyer has called for three years behind bars.
