B.C.’s high court Jan. 28 upheld murder convictions for two men involved in the notorious 2007 Surrey Six mass murder. The murders saw six people executed in a Surrey highrise apartment in 2007, . . .
They were then shot. In 2014, Cody Rae Haevischer and Matthew James Johnston were both sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty on six counts of first-degree murder. The pair was also found guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit murder. “None of the grounds of appeal that would have resulted in a new trial are upheld, and the verdicts of guilt are affirmed,” the BC Court of Appeal said in a short statement. The court said appeals are allowed to the extent of quashing their convictions and remitting the matter to the trial court for an evidentiary hearing on the applications for a stay of proceedings for abuse of process.”
