Teen sentenced for murder of 16-year-old Dean Visser

A Calgary teen who murdered 16-year-old Dean Visser last June was sentenced on Monday.

On June 6, 2024, Visser was followed and fatally stabbed in broad daylight in Forest Lawn.

The attack had been fuelled by an online feud.

The killer was just 17 at the time and was charged with first-degree murder.

He later pleaded to second-degree murder in a plea deal.

With time already served, the now 18-year-old will spend two years and nine months in prison, followed by a three-year supervised conditional sentence.
