Nine years after a London, Ont. man was shot to death in a botched robbery at his home, the man responsible for the shooting was given a prison sentence on Wednesday.

At the time, it was a crime that shocked the London community after Mark McCullagh was shot to death at his home in the city’s east end.

The 36 year old was taking out the garbage at his home on English Street when he was approached by three men. The court heard that the trio suspected that McCullagh and his spouse had a large amount of cash in their home, but they were mistaken.

After a struggle, McCullagh was shot and he later died in hospital.

In her victim impact statement, which was filed as an exhibit, McCullagh’s spouse Mary Willar said, ”It was the most horrible and worst time of my life.”

She continued, “You forcibly broke into our house, terrorized us both, shot my husband and then held a gun to my head.”

Willar told the court, “You made me look for money while he bled on the floor.”
