Cindy McKay-Perry says she hopes the man convicted Thursday of killing her sister and her sister's daughter never gets out of prison.
"This is not real justice for us because we still don't get our loved ones back," she said Thursday after Edward Chomiak was found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2010 death of Melody Perry.
Chomiak, 55, was also found guilty of the second-degree murder of Jerica Bouchard.
"I hope he never sees the light of day," she said outside court in Peace River, Alta. "I hope that he dies in that prison, wherever he goes."
Chomiak is to be sentenced Friday.
Court heard that he shot both of the women in their home on Dec. 15 near Fahler, 430 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
During the trial a tape of a 911 call was played in which Perry tells a dispatcher that Chomiak is in the house with a gun and had shot her daughter.
The dispatcher tells her to stay in the bathroom and close the door, and doesn't hear anything more from Perry.
RCMP found Bouchard's bloody body in the kitchen of the home. She was 20.
Perry, who was 45, was found dead in a bathroom.
Police later found a restraining order in Chomiak's truck that named the two women.
McKay-Perry said the brutal crimes and the six years it took to bring the case to trial took a heavy toll on the family.
"It has been a long hard road. I feel the justice system on both parts — Canadian and in Alberta has let us down," she said.
"I feel the final Band-Aid has been removed — the wounds can start to heal." (CKYL)
