TORONTO – Police say a Burlington, Ont., man has been sentenced to life in prison following the 2023 murder of his wife.
Halton police say 73-year-old Sandor Somogyi was originally charged with first-degree murder after his wife was found dead in a Burlington residence on Jan, 13, 2023.
They say a jury found him guilty of second-degree murder in April of this year.
Police say Somogyi appeared in court today for sentencing, where a judge ruled that he would not be eligible for parole for 13 and a half years.
Police did not disclose the cause of death in the case.
Halton police say in a news release that they hope the outcome of the court proceedings “brings some measure of healing” to the community.
