The first-degree murder conviction comes with an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. Convicted murderers who are paroled remain on parole for life.
The jury was asked by the judge whether the two first-degree murder convictions should be served consecutively or concurrently. The jury unanimously decided not to make a recommendation.
The Crown has not indicated whether it will pursue consecutive sentences.
