The offender pleaded guilty to second-degree murder after choking a sex worker to death, dismembering her body, and hiding her remains in his garage.
The Crown sought a 15-year period of parole ineligibility, while the defence sought 12 to 13 years.
The court considered the offender's diagnosis of Schizoaffective Disorder, his guilty plea, and the profound aggravating factors of the offence, including the vulnerability of the victim and the indignity to her remains.
The court sentenced the offender to mandatory life imprisonment with parole ineligibility set at 14 years.
