Nathaniel David Jessup was sentenced last month on one count each of manslaughter and indignity to human remains in the violent death of Katherine McAdam, a 59-year-old resident of Creston.
McAdam lived alone in a basement suite on Cedar Street, where she was fatally assaulted on Aug. 15, 2015, according to the sentencing judge.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dennis Hori said there was no evidence presented at trial about the nature of the relationship between the victim and Jessup, who was 28 years old and had no fixed address at the time of the assault.
However, Jessup and McAdam spent the night before the attack in McAdam's apartment, and the two were "associating in an apparently friendly manner" in the days before her death, according to the judge.
McAdam's manner of death is equally unclear.
