A judge called Corey Fenn’s actions “horrific” as he handed down the sentence in a court in Osawa, OD. on Tuesday. Fen was found guilty of three counts of second-degree murder in 2018 of the death of Krassimira Pejcinovski’s girlfriend and her children, Roy, 14, and Venellia, 13, in Ajax, Aude. “Mr Fen’s actions destroyed the family and caused significant damage to the community,” Judge Howard Leibovich told the court. A second-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence of at least 10 years prior to eligibility for release. The judge ordered periods of ineligibility for Pejcinovski and Roy’s murders to be extradited simultaneously. He reserved the sentence for Venellia’s murder until the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on the constitutionality of imposing periods of probation for multiple murders. Leibowich said the murder of Venellia, to which Vana refers, was a separate and separate act that took place five hours after the murder of her mother and brother. “Mr Fen killed Vana in a desperate and futile attempt to escape detection,” Leibovich said. “In my view, given the nature and circumstances of the crimes and the nature of Mr Fen, a successive period of ineligibility must be imposed for the brutal and brutal murder of Vana.” The Crown had demanded a sentence of 72 years before Fen managed to apply for parole, while Fen noted that 10 years would be “perfect”. Fen lived in the basement of Pejsinowski’s house, and the two had an affair that the judge described as “toxic.” On March 14, 2018, Fenn and Pejcinovski were hanging out in his apartment and the court heard that they were sniffing cocaine that night. Pejcinovski later left the house and Fenn found her in the garage, beat her and tried to strangle her, according to the court. When that did not work, Fen went to the kitchen, grabbed a knife and returned to “finish the job,” the judge said. Fenn angrily continued to attack Roy, who was sleeping in his mother’s bed after a night of playing video games. Fen, a large man taking steroids, struck and then strangled the boy, according to the court. Fen attacked Venelia five hours later when the girl went to check on her mother. He beat the teenager and then stabbed her repeatedly with a butter knife, according to the court. Pejcinovski’s boss was worried about her and came home. Sherry Robinson testified that she noticed blood on Fan’s hand when she opened the door. He demanded to see Pejcinovski, but Fenn said he was asleep. Robinson left and called the police. Fen inserted bolts before police arrived, but police eventually located him in a shed in another ex-home, according to the court. Fen told police after his arrest that he was in a state of cocaine psychosis at the time after consuming coke for five days. The judge did not buy the explanation. Leibowich also did not accept the Crown’s motive that Fenn killed Pejcinovski after a split. Instead, the judge said Fen’s own words were likely to be heard by the nearest court for a motive – he was tired of Pejcinovski’s constant whining that he was with another woman and “that was enough for him”. Fen fired his lawyer before the trial and did not call for a defense, although a lawyer appointed by the court made final proposals for him. On Tuesday, the judge said he would wait until the Supreme Court ruled on the constitutionality of assessing periods of ineligibility successively and not simultaneously. Leibowich said he would impose a successive sentence for Venellia’s murder if the law was obeyed. The Supreme Court heard arguments last month about the constitutionality of a law introduced by the conservative government of Prime Minister Steven Harper in 2011. The Quebec Court of Appeals ruled the law unconstitutional after a lower court sentenced Alexandre Bissonnette to 40 years in prison without parole, who killed six in a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City in 2017. The Crown filed an appeal in Supreme Court. This Canadian Press report was first published on April 5, 2022.
