| Historic Crash: Front page of the Eastern Graphic newspaper with the headline about Cathy Vuozzo, nine, being killed in a car crash in 1970 |
Alfred Guy Vuozzo gunned down Brent McGuigan, 68, and his son, Brendon, 39, last August.
He was only a toddler when his sister Cathy was killed in 1970 after the car Brent’s father, Herbert, was driving hit the nine-year-old.
Following his conviction and as he was led away from the courtroom Vuozzo, 46, shouted: "You've sentenced me to life and I sent them to death."
Justice Gordon Campbell said the brutal double-murder was act of “hatred and misdirected vengeance”.
Vuozzo had pleaded guilty in February to the “execution-style” murders of the two men who he shot at their home in Montague, Canada.
During the case he said that following his sister’s death “Our lives were ruined."
He said there was no support from the community after her death before adding: "Call me a cold-blooded killer, but I'm not."
Vuozzo said he was in constant misery after Cathy's death and needed to do something for her.
Before he was sentenced, Vuozzo told the court: "She only had nine years in this world.
"And nobody cared.
"It's haunted me all my life."
Crown attorney John Diamond called the double murder "callous, pointless".
The judge sentenced him to life on Monday with no chance of parole for 35 years.
Herbert McGuigan, who has since died, was jailed for nine months after the accident for dangerous driving.
