HALIFAX – A sentencing hearing will be held today for two people who pleaded guilty to murdering Loretta Saunders, whose remains were found inside a hockey bag along the side of a highway in New Brunswick.
Blake Leggette and Victoria Henneberry entered the guilty pleas a week ago as their trial was supposed to start in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Halifax.
The pair had originally pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder but Leggette abruptly changed his plea to guilty and Henneberry pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of second-degree murder in the 26-year-old woman’s death.
Leggette will be sentenced to an automatic life sentence with no parole eligibility for 25 years.
Henneberry is also facing a life sentence, but her parole eligibility could range between 10 and 25 years.
It’s expected Judge Josh Arnold will decide on Henneberry’s parole eligibility period and victim impact statements will be delivered.
Two statements of fact have been submitted to the court that say Leggette and Henneberry were having financial difficulties soon after they moved into a sublet room in Saunders’ apartment, which they had found through a Kijiji ad in January 2014…

The number of Canadians in insecure employment continues to rise, taking a toll on financial security and on personal lives.
Most Canadians expect semi-retirement or none at all
– moneysense.ca
OTTAWA – A new survey suggests more than half of Canadians either plan to ease into retirement by working reduced hours before hanging it up for good or have no plans to ever quit.The report by HSBC found that 45 per cent of working-age Canadians expect some period of semi-retirement before fully packing it in, while another 15 per cent expect to never be able to fully retire.
That’s compared with 17 per cent of current retirees surveyed who said they semi-retired before fully retiring.
Betty Miao, HSBC Bank Canada’s head of retail banking and wealth management, says while under-employment challenges facing young Canadians are well-known, the report suggests older Canadians are also feeling the pinch.
The survey results come as Canadians balance saving for retirement while grappling with record debt levels.
Statistics Canada said last month that the ratio of household debt to disposable income hit a new high in the fourth quarter of last year, with households owing about $1.63 in consumer credit, mortgage, and non-mortgage loans for every dollar of disposable income…
