Widow of Quebec mosque massacre victim calls for exemplary sentence
QUEBEC — If the Quebec City mosque shooter gets anything other than an exemplary sentence or is freed one day, it would be like a second death for victims and their families, the widow of one of the six murdered men said Tuesday.
Louiza Mohamed-Said, whose husband Abdelkrim Hassane was killed by Alexandre Bissonnette, described struggling to find the words to tell the couple’s three young daughters about “their father’s death.”
Bissonnette, 28, pleaded guilty last month to six charges of first-degree murder and six of attempted murder in the shooting on Jan. 29, 2017.
The defence is asking for a life sentence of 25 years for Bissonnette while the Crown hasn’t yet said what it will recommend.
