CALGARY – Two notorious gang members entered guilty pleas in court on Monday.
Nathan Zuccherato admitted to multiple killings, including the first-degree murder of Aaron Bendle at Bolsa Restaurant on New Year’s Day in 2009.
In addition, Zuccherato admitted to the first-degree murder of Kevin Ses during a shooting at the Food In East restaurant on October 26, 2008, as well as the second-degree murder of nursing student Tina Kong in the same incident.
