The offender pleaded guilty to second degree murder for shooting his father and subsequently attempting to burn the body.
The Crown sought 15 years of parole ineligibility, while the defence sought 12 years, citing the offender's guilty plea, remorse, and significant rehabilitative efforts while in custody.
The court weighed the aggravating factors, including the domestic nature of the killing and the indignities to the body, against the mitigating factors.
The court sentenced the offender to life imprisonment with no eligibility for parole for 13 years.
