The accused pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated assault arising from a stabbing incident outside a bar in Oshawa.
The accused stabbed two brothers multiple times with a knife, causing serious injuries including punctured lungs, collapsed lung, and a punctured heart.
The court imposed a sentence of nine years imprisonment, finding the offences were unprovoked, premeditated, and demonstrated callousness toward the victims.
The court emphasized that deterrence and denunciation were the paramount sentencing principles given the serious aggravating circumstances.
