Neil Snelson has been handed an 11-year prison sentence for the October 1993 murder of Jennifer Cusworth in Kelowna.
The sentence was handed down in a Kamloops courtroom this morning.
With time already served, Snelson will spend just 19 months behind bars.
Snelson was originally found guilty of murdering Cusworth in 2011 and sentenced to 15 years.
He won an appeal of that conviction, arguing the judge in the case should have withheld some of the Crown’s evidence from the jury.
Snelson was found guilty a second time in Kamloops.
Crown was asking for a 15-year sentence, while Snelson's defence attorney suggested a 10- to 12-year sentence.
Snelson was arrested and charged with murder in 2009 after DNA evidence revealed he had sex with Cusworth the night she died.
Cusworth was last seen at a house party on Richter Street on the morning of Oct. 16, 1993.
Her body was discovered in a ditch on Swamp Road in the Mission the following morning.
