VICTORIA (NEWS1130) - The two Vancouver Island teenagers who pleaded guilty to the sexual assault and murder of 18-year-old Kimberly Proctor can now be named. They are Kruse Wellwood, 17, and Cameron Moffatt, 18. Wellwood's father, Robert Dezwann, is in prison for beating a 16-year-old girl to death in Merritt ten years ago.
Moffatt and Wellwood have been sentenced as adults. They were given automatic life sentences with no chance for parole for 10 years.
The judge said the brutality of their crime and the likelihood they may never be rehabilitated forced him to keep them behind bars for as long as possible.
Proctor was lured to a home where the two repeatedly sexually assaulted her then mutilated her body. The boys put her body in a freezer overnight and burned it the next day. Her remains were left on a popular hiking trail near Langford in March of 2010.
Corporal Darren Lagan says it was difficult for her family to be in the courtroom when the sentence was handed down. "The whole family, her mom, her dad, her brother, her grandmother, are amazingly strong people. I don't know where they get their strength from," notes Langan.
Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act this is the maximum sentence the teens could have received. |
