The offender was convicted by a jury of second-degree murder for stabbing his 18-year-old stepbrother to death.
The mandatory sentence of life imprisonment was imposed.
The Crown sought an 18-year period of parole ineligibility, while the defence sought the minimum 10 years.
The court considered the aggravating factors, including the familial relationship, the victim's vulnerability, and the offender's criminal record, alongside mitigating factors such as remorse.
The court set the period of parole ineligibility at 15 years.
