8 years in prison and a lifetime firearms prohibition.
That was the sentence handed down to 27-year old Waylon Darian Harry in Supreme Court in Williams Lake.
56 months of that is new jail time as he was given credit for 1,212 days in custody.
Harry was originally charged with second degree murder but was found guilty of the lesser charge by Madame Justice Church in a trial in January of last year.
Williams Lake RCMP were out to the community of Esk’etemc, about 50 kilometres southwest of the city, back in September of 2021 for a report of a suspicious death.
Upon arrival, police discovered the body of 19-year old Kendra Samson.
A suspect was arrested at the scene.
