A sentencing hearing is underway today for Andrew Berry. He’s the Oak Bay man who stabbed to death his two young daughters in his apartment on Christmas Day two years ago.

Back in September he was convicted of second degree murder in the deaths of 6-year-old Chloe and 4-year-old Aubrey.

The sentencing hearing will include victim impact statements read by several family and friends and the hearing expected to last 4 days.

He faces life in prison so what is still be determined is how many years he will have to serve before becoming eligible for parole.

Our Richard Zussman was in court to hear the arguments lawyers are making to the judge. He joins me now to bring me the details.
