Father Sentenced for Killing His Sons | Toronto News

A Saint John man faces sentencing today after being convicted of two first-degree murders — the brutal killings of his 10- and 17-year-old sons in January 2025. The prosecution claims the crimes were revenge against his ex-wife, who had recently divorced him and was out of town at the time. With a mandatory life sentence and no parole for 25 years per each count, the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling now means any parole eligibility will be served concurrently. Police found the bodies in a locked apartment after responding to a 911 call; Kamyshnyy was discovered nearby, having attempted suicide with a nail gun. Evidence suggests the murders were premeditated over eight days — one son attacked while sleeping, the other during a struggle. Despite testifying he had no memory of the day, the jury convicted him after 23 Crown witnesses testified over two weeks. Victim impact statements from family, friends, and responders will now influence his sentence. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
