A forensic psychologist says the young man who pleaded guilty to murdering North Delta teenager Laura Szendrei “did not intend to kill the victim.” Lawyers are arguing in Surrey provincial court whether the killer, whose identity is shielded by the Youth Criminal Justice Act, should be sentenced as a youth or as an adult. He was just shy of his 18th birthday when he murdered the 15-year-old girl in 2010, striking her over the head at least three times with a metal pipe as she struggled to escape from him along a path in North Delta’s Mackie Park. If sentenced as an adult, his sentence will be life in prison without eligibility to apply for parole for seven years. If sentenced as a youth, he faces a seven-year sentence, with a maximum four of those years to be served in prison and the remainder in the community, under supervision. Final submissions will be heard Sept. 18 to 20, at which time the killer is expected to address the court. He was charged with first-degree murder but has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Earlier, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Paul Janke told Justice Robin Baird the killer should be subject to “indefinite” supervision, at least into his late 40s or early 50s. Asked by Crown prosecutor Wendy Stephen if he believes a seven-year sentence would be sufficient to protect the community, Janke replied, “In my opinion, absolutely not.”
