Zachary Armitage apologized in a Vancouver courtroom Wednesday for the “shocking” and “grotesque” murder of Martin Payne in his Metchosin home, before being sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years.
“I’m haunted now because of this. I wish I could explain what’s going on now but you guys probably wouldn’t understand. I want you to know that I wish I could take it back. I’d give my life for his because of the pain I caused you guys and I’m sorry.”“And, somewhere down the line, if you want to reach out in a safe environment through them, ask questions, closure, if you guys want to do that, I would be willing to answer any questions. I wish you peace. I’m sorry.
On Dec. 15, Busch was convicted by a jury of Payne’s first-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years.
