A former Prince George resident will spend the next ten years behind bars without parole in relation to a May 2022 murder near a Vancouver homeless camp.
David Christian Bentil was convicted of second-degree murder in October by the B.C. Supreme Court. The charge carries a mandatory life sentence under Canadian law.
According to the B.C. Prosecution Service, Bentil was 18 at the time of the murder and his co-accused Eric Gaon Kim was handed a 14-year jail sentence for manslaughter in June, less credit for pre-sentence custody.
Both are subject to a DNA order and a lifetime firearms ban.
The victim was later identified as 45-year-old Andrew Wadden by the Vancouver Police.
