Colin Raymond Correia pleaded guilty to second -degree murder after a successful appeal by the Crown led to a second trial being ordered.

In May 2010 , Leanne MacFarlane and Jeffrey Taylor were shot and killed in a Cranbrook , B.C. couple's home.

He was looking for rival drug dealer Doug Mahon , but he had moved out of the home six months earlier .

The judge noted that murder carries a mandatory life sentence.

“He appears to have taken steps to rehabilitate himself in that interval.” The 14-year minimum for parole eligibility was agreed on by Correia ’s defence and the prosecution. Due to time already spent in custody, he will become eligible for parole in about 10 years . He must also submit a DNA sample and is banned from owning weapons for life..
