Supreme court hands down life sentence to 43-year-old man connected to historical PG homicide

The B.C. Prosecution Service says a 43-year-old man, the last of the three men arrested in connection with the 2015 homicide of Jordan McLeod was sentenced to life in prison without parole for 25 years.

Darren Sundman learned of his fate in Prince George Court last week.

McLeod was first reported missing to the RCMP in January of 2015.

A month later, human remains were located by a man walking his dog, on the Kaykay Forest Service Road, past the end of Ness Lake Road.

An autopsy confirmed the remains were McLeod’s.

Police confirmed he was murdered around Upper Fraser Road.

In August of 2015, Mounties arrested Sundman, along with his brother Kurtis Sundman and Sebastian Martin in relation to the incident, all of whom were from the Vanderhoof area.

The Prosecution Service noted in July of 2018, Martin was sentenced to second-degree murder and was handed a life sentence with no possibility of parole for 13 years.

The court also imposed a DNA order, and firearms ban for a period of 15 years.

In addition, Kurtis Sundman just shy of eight years in jail for manslaughter using a firearm.

The court considered the four years and 4.5 months he had spent in presentence custody.
