The motives, the planning and deliberation and the calculated magnitude of these crimes is such that they stand out and indicate that denunciation in these cases requires what may amount to whole life sentences for both Klaus and Frank, Justice Jack Watson wrote for the majority in a split decision released Monday.
Klaus and Frank were each convicted of three counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole eligibility for 25 years.
The bodies of Klaus s father and sister, Gordon and Monica Klaus, were discovered in their burned-out farmhouse near Castor, east of Red Deer, in 2013.
The body of his mother, Sandra Klaus, was never found but police believed she also died in the home.
