Sentence upheld for Surrey senior who killed roommate following rent dispute
B.C. Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal of a South Surrey senior convicted of manslaughter in a 2019 South Surrey shooting.
Bragg had said that, following last year’s jury trial, Justice Murray Blok had erred in “overemphasizing denunciation, general deterrence and retribution” without giving sufficient weight to Bragg’s expression of remorse. Police had responded to an emergency call to a house in the 1600-block of 160 Street around 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 6, 2019, and found Duncan, still alive, suffering from eight gunshot wounds from Bragg’s legally owned .22 calibre pistol. He was taken to hospital, where he later died.
They had testified that Duncan had been “threatening and abusing them frequently, even daily, and punctuating some of his outbursts by punching holes in walls or doors or doing other damage to property.”
