The mother of a 13 year old girl fatally stabbed by a man who entered the teen's Abbotsford high school has told a New Westminster courtroom of her grief since the 2016 attack.
Ellie Reimer told the court it's still hard to know her daughter Letisha died ``on the cold floor of her school.''
She told Klein she hopes he never has another moment of peace in his life.
Letisha's father, Ulrich, says he doubts his daughter's attacker will receive a sentence that fits the suffering his family has endured since Letisha and her friend were attacked in the rotunda of Abbotsford Senior Secondary.
A sentencing hearing is underway for Gabriel Klein, convicted last year for the second-degree murder of Letisha Reimer and the aggravated assault of her friend, with the Crown saying Klein should not be eligible for parole for 18 years.
