The man who pleaded guilty to killing his cousin’s wife and her son in the family’s Evanston home almost two years ago was sentenced in a Calgary courtroom on Friday to life in prison with no chance of parole for 35 years.

Guevara Wilson Clorina, 28, pleaded guilty earlier this month in the stabbing deaths of Chona Manzano and her five-year-old son Gabrial on May 16, 2013.

Clorina was originally charged with two counts of first-degree murder but one of those charges was later reduced to second-degree murder.

Clorina will serve a life sentence without parole for a minimum of 35 years.

The sentence is the longest ever given to a convicted murdered in Calgary.
