The ideal _ combination of performance and affordability’ IBM Aptiva E10 Trt By Andre Ramshaw Contributing Writer FIVE harrowing wecks reliving a bitter mar- riage breakup that led to the axe murder of an 1}-year-old girl came to an emotional end Thursday when a judge tearfully sentenced a father to life in jail. Justice Allan) Thackray gave Michel Andre Caovette, 43, of North Vancouver the maximum sentence allowed under the Criminal Code for the first-degree murder of his daughter, Danielle, 11, and the attempted murder of his son, Joshua, now 15. Caouette will serve a life sentence with no eligibility for parole for 25 years on the murder count and a concur- rent life term on the attempt- ed murder count. After three days of deliber- ation, the jury of seven women and four men — which at times seemed to be at an impasse —~ found Caouette guilty of both charges and dis- counted the defence theory that he was mentally disor- dered and therefore not crim- 1" FRM Colour Munitor Included!

There were sobs in the courtroom as the verdict was read in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. Caouette, bald- ing and with a full beard, stared ahead and showed no sign of emotion. Wearing a tan suit and flashy tie, he broke down only. slightly when asked if he had any final words, After a lengthy pause, Caouette, sobbing lightly and speaking in a faltering voice, said: “I hadn’t planned to do that. I’m very sorry; I love my son Josh.” The judge, wiping his cyes, read with trembling hands from a victim impact state- ment provided by Caouette’s former wife, Diana Roxburgh. In it, Roxburgh says Joshua misses out on the activities of most teenagers his age. “Instead of playing road hockey, he plays cards... Instead of playing soccer, he snes.

Outside court, Bellows declined to elaborate on Joshua’s injuries, saying it was a private matter. The case was originally slated for three weeks but dragged to five. From the start, the Crown maintained that Caouetre attacked the children in a fit of revenge against Roxburgh, his wife of 16 years. He wrote let- ters professing his love for them and hinting that he would take them away from her “forever.” The bitterness of their crumbling union climaxed on a summer morning almost two years ago. On July 12, 1995, the unemployed menswear salesman spent the day with the kids. It was Danielle’s 11th birthday and the last day she would spend alive.
