A man who viciously attacked and killed a mother and two of her children east of Toronto has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.
A judge found Cory Fenn guilty of three counts of second-degree murder in the 2018 deaths of his on-again, off-again girlfriend Krassimira Pejcinovski, and her children Roy, 14, and Venellia, 13, in Ajax, Ont.
Second-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence with a minimum 10 years before parole eligibility.
Justice Howard Leibowich has imposed the parole ineligibility periods for the murders of Pejcinovski and Roy to be served concurrently.
He has reserved judgment on the sentence for the murder of Venellia until the Supreme Court of Canada decides on the constitutionality of imposing periods of parole ineligibility for multiple murders.
The Crown sought a sentence of 72 years before Fenn could apply for parole, while Fenn noted 10 years would be “perfect.”
Fenn fired his lawyer before trial and did not call a defence, although a court-appointed lawyer made closing submissions for him.
The judge called Fenn’s actions “horrific.”
“Mr Fenn’s actions destroyed the family and caused considerable harm to the community,” Leibowich said.
