CFB TRENTON, Ont. — Convicted sex killer Russell Williams will be stripped of his rank, medals and drummed out of the Canadian Forces.
Lt.-Gen Andre Deschamps, chief of the air staff, says all Canadians are stunned by Williams’ crimes.
Now that Williams has been convicted and sentenced for two murders, two sexual assaults and a string of break ins the military will begin the process of removing him from its ranks.
Deschamps says while Williams will see his medals taken away, the military cannot revoke his pension.
It will, however, claw back the reported $12,000-a-month salary Williams collected during the several months he spent in jail.
Williams pleaded guilty on all counts in a Belleville, Ont., court and was sentenced to two counts of life in prison to be served concurrently with no chance of parole for 25 years.
He is being sent to the Kingston Penitentiary.
