Saskatoon, SK – After years of legal proceedings, the sentencing for Greg Fertuck, a man convicted of first-degree murder, is set to take place on Thursday.
Fertuck, 67, was found guilty in March of killing his estranged wife, Sheree Fertuck, who went missing in December 2015. Her body has never been found.
The sentencing hearing is expected to take place at the Court of Queen’s Bench in Saskatoon at 10 a.m. on Thursday.
During the trial, the Crown argued that Fertuck killed his wife in a fit of rage after she threatened to expose his fraudulent business practices. The defense, however, maintained that there was no concrete evidence linking Fertuck to the crime.
The jury ultimately found Fertuck guilty after deliberating for just over 12 hours.
The sentencing hearing will allow both the Crown and the defense to present their arguments for an appropriate sentence. The Crown is seeking a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years, while the defense is asking for a sentence of 12 to 15 years.
Family and friends of Sheree Fertuck are expected to attend the hearing, along with members of the media.
The case has garnered significant attention in the community, with many following the trial closely and hoping for justice for Sheree Fertuck.
The sentencing hearing is expected to last for several hours, with the judge ultimately making the final decision on Fertuck’s fate.
As the community awaits the outcome of this high-profile case, the sentencing hearing on Thursday will provide closure for many who have been impacted by this tragic event.
