A B.C. Supreme Court judge sentenced two members of the Greeks gang to life in prison without parole for 25 years Thursday for the ruthless, brutal murders of two Vernon men.
Dale Sipes and Leslie Podolski were convicted Monday in the first-degree murders of David Marniuk in July 2004 and Ronald Thom in May 2005.
Court heard Marniuk was a low-level drug dealer who used drugs he didn't pay for, and so was duct-taped to a chair and assaulted with a hammer and blow torch before the killers cremated his body as punishment.
Thom was mistakenly suspected of being a police informant, so the men lured him into a street and shot him dead in cold blood.
