Mother tells daughter’s killer to burn in hell, asks judge to show no mercy
REGINA — The mother of a 16-year-old girl who was brutally stabbed to death by a spurned ex stared the young man down in court on Friday, telling him to “burn in hell.”
“Show him no mercy,” Janet Leflar told the judge presiding over the sentencing hearing of the 19-year-old, who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the death of Leflar’s only child, Hannah.
“I will never know my daughter as an adult. I’ve lost my entire future because of this, a future that revolved around my daughter’s plans. My future is now a blank wall.”
Sobs were heard throughout court as Leflar said that in addition to killing Hannah, he had “murdered my future grandchildren.”
