Three more men sentenced to prison for fatal attack on Kelowna father

VANCOUVER – A young man who set the events in motion and then watched as a
Kelowna father was beaten to death in front of his sons has been
sentenced to five years in prison for manslaughter.
Judge Mark McEwan says Daniel McRae, who was 19 at the time,
showed no signs of remorse after Dain Phillips,51,  was fatally attacked
with hammers and bats on June 12, 2011.

McRae’s older brother, Matthew, was sentenced to three-and-a-half
years for his participation in a confrontation that the judge said
the man knew would result in bodily harm to Phillips.

Their friend, Anson Schell, received a three year sentence for
his participation in the fatal attack.

The judge acknowledged that none of the men took part in the
assault but he said they played a role in the death.

Two members of the Hells Angels pleaded guilty earlier this year
to manslaughter in Phillips’ death, which was the culmination of an
ongoing feud between the McRae brothers and the victim’s sons.
