He also received two seven-year sentences for two aggravated assaults during the same attack. All three sentences will be served concurrently.
He is ineligible for parole for at least 18 years.
The attack occurred in the early hours of May 12, 2019, at a home along Meadowlark Lane in Central Saanich.
Caruana was visiting her grandmother at the home from the Lower Mainland, along with her boyfriend, uncle and young cousin.
