Proctor's killers should never go free: parents

The parents of a Victoria teen who was tortured and murdered by two classmates say they never want to see the killers released from jail.

Kimberly Proctor, 18,was lured, then sexually assaulted before being killed and her body dumped and burned near a popular hiking trail inMarch 2010.

Kimberly's parents, Fred and Lucia Proctor, said they wish their daughter's killers faced a more severe punishment than the one they got: life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years.

"These animals aren't rehabilitable," said Fred Proctor outsidethe court after sentencing Monday. "They deserve to die a long, slow, horrific, painful death."

Lucia Proctor said she didn't even want to call them animals.

"To me, they're just monsters," she said.

Sentenced as adults

Kruse Wellwood, 17, and Cameron Moffat, 18, received the lengthy sentences, even though Wellwood was16 and Moffat was 17 years old at the time of the murder.Supreme Court Justice Robert Johnson ruled Monday in Victoria that they should be sentenced as adults.

Crown prosecutors had argued for adult sentences during the sentencing hearing last week and the teens' lawyers didn't oppose the Crown's application, becauseit could give the pair better access to education and rehabilitation.

Normally in Canada, an adult convicted offirst-degree murder receives an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. An exception had to bemade inthis case because, althoughWellwood and Moffat were sentenced as adults, they were originally convicted under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

If the pair had not been sentencedas adults, theywould havereceived a maximum of six years in custody and another four years to be served in the community.

During the hearing the identity of the two youths was protected by a publication ban because of their age, butthe judge lifted that publication ban on Monday.

It can also now be revealed that Wellwood's father, Robert Raymond Dezwaan, was convicted of first-degree murder for the killing of 16-year-old Cherish Oppenheim in Merritt in 2001. That informationhad been includedin the publication ban because it could have indirectlyrevealed Wellwood's identity.

The Crown also released transcripts of conversations between the two convicted murderers recorded after they were apprehended by police.

Burned body found under bridge

The two teens pleaded guilty in October to the first-degree murder of Proctor, a classmate, whose body was found on a popular hiking trail in Langfordin March 2010. They later confessed they lured her to a home, bound and gagged her, then raped and beat her hours before suffocating her and mutilating her body.

The pair then transported Proctor's body by bus to the wooded area under a bridge on the Galloping Goose trail to burn it.

Both teens were described inassessment reports presented at the sentencing hearing as psychopaths with sexual deviance and conduct disorder. Experts found both had long histories of violence and anti-social behaviour and were at high risk to rape and kill again for up to 40 years.
