The Crown applied to have the offender designated as a dangerous offender following his convictions for attempted murder, aggravated assault, forcible confinement, and robbery.
The offender broke into the victims' home, stabbed one victim 18 times, and slashed the other victim's throat three times while she was tied to a chair.
The court found that the offender's behaviour was of an extremely brutal nature and that he constitutes a threat to the life and safety of others.
The court designated the offender as a dangerous offender and imposed a sentence of detention in a penitentiary for an indeterminate period.
