A man who beat a mother of three with a baseball bat during a home invasion in west-central British Columbia has been handed a provincial sentence of two years less a day, after a judge concluded he had turned his life around since the drug-fuelled attack.

Craig Brentton Durando, 25, pleaded guilty to breaking and entering, assault with a weapon, and robbery in connection with the September 2023 incident at a Terrace, B.C. home. His sentence was delivered by the B.C. Supreme Court in a ruling last week.
