Wrong woman killed: Gang leader behind botched hit in Saskatoon loses appeal
SASKATOON — The gang leader behind a botched hit that led to the death of a 34-year-old Saskatoon mother of four has lost an appeal of his conviction.
A judge found Joshua Petrin guilty in 2016 of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder and sentenced him to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.
Lorry Ann Santos was shot to death in the front entryway of her home in September 2012 by two gunmen.
Petrin’s trial before a judge alone heard that the shooters had gone to the wrong address after he directed them to kill a former member of his White Boy Posse gang.
