A Quebec man who slipped through the cracks of the justice and health systems was sentenced today to eight years in prison for the March 2022 killing of his spouse.

Quebec court Judge Sylvain Lépine accepted the joint sentencing recommendation from the Crown and defence for Pascal Arseneault, who killed 64-year-old Louise Avon.
