VANCOUVER — Sentencing submissions presented in B.C. Supreme Court will help determine parole eligibility for a Nanaimo woman convicted of a grisly, high-profile crime.
Paris Jayanne Laroche, 29, was found guilty of the reduced charge of second-degree murder this past July by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robin Baird for the slaying of Sidnee Joseph Mantee, 32, on March 5, 2020 in a Nanaimo apartment unit on Rosehill St.
Laroche was also convicted of interfering with Mantee’s remains, who was hit by Laroche multiple times in the head with a small hammer as the defenceless victim slept face-down.
