B.C. Teen Killers Given Adult Sentences

Months after pleading guilty, the teen killers behind Kimberly Proctor’s death in BC were sentenced as adults on Monday. Cameron Moffatt and Kruse Wellwood received life sentences, with no chance of parole for 10 years.

The publication ban on the teens’ identities was lifted at the time of the sentencing.

The judge says because the crime was so brutal, the boys should be jailed as long as possible. He says both teens tried laying the blame on each other, so it’s impossible to sort out the truth.

The teens raped and murdered 16-year-old Proctor in a Victoria home last summer. They were 16 and 17 when they committed the crime.

Last fall, they both pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and indignity to human remains.

Proctor’s parents were at the trial and expressed their anger at what the teens did to their daughter.
