Jesse Imeson, 23, is led away on Monday after pleading guilty in Goderich, Ont., to killing a student in Windsor, Ont., and an older farm couple in Mount Carmel, Ont.
Mr. Imeson had been charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Mrs. Regier, 73, and her 72-year-old husband. He pleaded guilty to the lesser charge, and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.
He also pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for killing student Carlos Rivera, 25, in Windsor, a few days before he shot the Regiers.
He was sentenced to life without parole eligibility for 15 years on that count.
"Carlos, in a way, helped take a demon out of society," the victim's brother, Hugo Rivera, said in a statement.
According to an agreed statement of facts, Mr. Imeson strangled Mr. Rivera with a belt after waking up and finding the architecture student performing a sex act on him.
The two had spent much of the night drinking after they struck up a conversation on July 17, 2007, at the Tap, a gay strip club in Windsor where Mr. Rivera worked part time as a bartender and Mr. Imeson had gone looking for work as an exotic dancer.
"The gay guy - if I had to do it again, I would do it," Mr. Imeson would later tell an undercover police officer.(read more)
