The offender pleaded guilty to second degree murder after stabbing his intimate partner 21 times.
The Crown sought a 16-year period of parole ineligibility, while the defence sought 13 years.
The court considered the brutal nature of the attack, the offender's prior assault on the victim, and his criminal record as aggravating factors.
However, the court also weighed the offender's early guilty plea, remorse, and cooperation with police as mitigating factors.
The court sentenced the offender to life imprisonment with no eligibility for parole for 14 years.
