Ryan Quigley has been sentenced to 12 years in jail for the March 2014 killing of his ex-fiancee, Aimee Parkes.
Justice Alison Beames delivered the manslaughter sentence Friday afternoon, sticking to the joint recommendation from Crown and defence lawyers. Quigley was initially charged with second-degree murder but was allowed to plead guilty to the lesser charge.
"You've committed an unspeakable crime that has wounded many people," Beams said to Quigley after sentencing.
