Canadian colonel gets life in prison for murders, rapes

22 Oct, 2010

A Canadian court on Thursday sentenced Colonel Russell Williams to two consecutive life sentences for a spree of murders, sexual assaults and burglaries of women's homes. Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert Scott described Williams as a "sick and dangerous man" in handing down the strongest sentence available under Canadian law. Williams will not be eligible for parole for 25 years.
Police arrested Williams in February for the disappearance and death of 27-year-old woman, last heard from the previous month.
