The man found guilty last week of second-degree murder and assault for a 2022 triple stabbing near St. Laurent Shopping Centre will spend 10 years in prison before he’s eligible for parole.
Marcus Maloney, 19, was killed in the attack on the afternoon of Sept. 16, 2022. Two others were injured.
Mohamed Osma, then 18, was charged the next day.
Last Wednesday, an Ontario Superior Court jury in Ottawa found Osman guilty of second-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
He’s automatically sentenced to life in prison, but a judge had to determine how long it will be before Osman is eligible to apply for parole — anywhere from 10 to 25 years.
That decision came Thursday: Osman will spend at least 10 years behind bars before becoming eligible for parole, plus four years for each assault conviction, to be served concurrently.
