An Ontario judge has sentenced the teenager who admitted to murdering a random Pickering woman in an attempt to emulate a fictional serial killer to just five more years in a youth facility, after granting him credit for the 13 months he has already spent in pre-trial custody.

Justice Lisa Wannamaker ruled that the boy, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, will receive credit for the time already served while awaiting trial. He will now spend five additional years in custody, followed by four years under community supervision.
