Damien Medwedrich will be eligible for parole in 25 years after being found guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Alex Knatchbell.
A man convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of 26-year-old Alex Knatchbell has been sentenced to life in prison without eligibility for parole for 25 years.
“Our family has lost a son, a brother; a sweet childhood for my girls turned dark, a marriage ended, a life gone, a life not able to start,” Cheryl Chalifour said, facing Medwedrich as she read her statement. Chalifour described months of being unable to sleep and struggling to eat, and of crying during her hour-long commute from Sooke to Victoria each day as she passed the road where her son was killed.
“All the evil in the world that my parents had protected me from had arrived and forced me to see the world for what it truly is,” she said. Asked by Jackson if he had anything he wanted to say, Medwedrich declined, responding: “No, you guys probably don’t want me to.”
