Woman who shot husband to death at Vavenby campsite to be sentenced in April
A 33-year-old North Thompson woman who shot her husband to death at a Vavenby campsite in 2020 had her bail revoked and was taken into custody following sentencing arguments in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Monday .
Crown is asking for a sentence of six to 10 years, while the defence is suggesting a sentence in the range of three to five years. Livingston then introduced Tschritter’s criminal record for obstructing justice, aggravated assault, robbery and numerous breaches of probation, including fatally shooting Simpson while being prohibited from owning or accessing firearms.
“These poor children have continuously relived the nightmare of their dad’s death since we got them in our care,” the couples’ letter reads. “They felt closer to their dad than their mom, so the situation has had a devastating effect. David loved his children deeply and it’s awful that they had to see their dad in that way.”
Movassaghi told Groves that Tschritter — prior to having her bail revoked and placed in custody on March 13 as she awaits her sentence — had taken steps to gain employment, regularly visited a counsellor and was taking medication for bipolar disorder. He added Tschritter’s previous criminal history was a result of substance misuse, noting she was in a series of foster homes and began using drugs at the age of 13, when she moved in with a man who was 31 years old.
“The loss of Dave has been a big impact for our family, especially for the grandchildren who lost not only their father, but also their mother,” Alysha told court, requesting placement of her daughter in the Alouette Correctional Centre for Women in Maple Ridge so she may visit her daughter regularly.
