Charles Kembo: First Degree Murder

Scathing Assessment Dept: He was given an automatic sentence of life in prison with no parole for 25 years, although B.C. Supreme Court Judge Sunni Stromberg-Stein told him she would have imposed a harsher sentence if she could, according to Globe And Mail. “You are a predator — you preyed on innocent, vulnerable people, including those closest to you, exploiting those who made the mistake of trusting you . . . when you stood to benefit financially from their deaths,” Judge Stromberg-Stein told Mr. Kembo, who sat in the prisoner's box in a black fleece jacket and at times appeared to be grinning during the hearing and a jury found Charles Kembo guilty on four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his wife, girlfriend, stepdaughter and a business partner. They were all killed one at a time between December 2002 and July 2005. Judge Stromberg-Stein read a scathing assessment of the 41-year-old, who she denounced as a “greedy, selfish and corrupt” criminal who preyed on the people who trusted him most. As reported in the news.
