Three men convicted in the brutal murders of two Abbotsford seniors are challenging how long they should serve in prison before being considered for parole under the so-called faint hope clause.
“The faint hope clause makes no sense to me. It’s ridiculous,” said Brian Barthel, the son-in-law of victims Arnold and Joanne De Jong.
Kushveer Toor, Abhijeet Singh and Gurkaran Singh were convicted earlier this year in the 2022 first-degree murders of the De Jongs, who were attacked during a home invasion.
