flag Jason McKay got life in prison with no parole for 17 years for killing his wife in 2017, due to his violent past and alcohol issues.

flag Jason McKay was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 17 years for the 2017 second-degree murder of his wife, Jenny McKay, in Regina. flag The sentence, handed down after McKay pleaded guilty following the overturning of his original conviction, means he won’t be eligible for parole until 2034. flag The judge increased the parole ineligibility period beyond the mandatory 10 years due to McKay’s history of violence and alcohol-related assaults, finding his mental health issues did not significantly mitigate the crime. flag His guilty plea, entered just before a retrial, was considered only marginally mitigating. flag McKay, not a Canadian citizen, is expected to be deported to Ireland upon release. flag The court acknowledged the lasting trauma inflicted on Jenny’s family.
