A phone call before the meeting to recoup the $80 had amped-up the bad blood, with one of them men telling Lee Chia 'Kenny' Weng to “f*** your mother.”
A 45-year-old man found guilty of murder and attempted murder for a 2006 Burnaby shooting over an $80 debt and an insult to his mother has succeeded in getting the attempted murder conviction quashed – but how that will affect his life sentence is unclear.
A phone call before the meeting had amped-up the bad blood, with Wu telling Weng to “f*** your mother,” and Weng telling Wu to wear a bullet-proof vest and get ready to “swallow some bullets,” according to information presented in court. During his 13 years back in Taiwan, Weng had “lived openly,” married, had two children and worked at a profession he was “relatively successful in,” according to a 2019 sentencing ruling in the case.He was convicted in August 2019 and handed a life sentence with no chance of parole for 12 years for the second-degree murder and a nine-year concurrent sentence for the attempted murder.
For example, the trial judge had found Weng hadn’t been aiming carefully and didn’t shoot Wu again when he had the chance.
