Man who killed two in hail of bullets in Toronto nightclub gets life
sentence

TORONTO (CP) _ A long-time fugitive who peppered a nightclub dance floor
with bullets, killing two people and injuring four others, has been
sentenced to life in prison with no hope of parole for 15 years.

Dudley Forbes showed no regard for people’s lives on Sept. 17, 1994 as
he fired at least 14 bullets inside and outside an after-hours
nightclub, Justice Brian Trafford said Thursday in sentencing Forbes.

“People who went there for an enjoyable night with friends were
panic-stricken, screaming in fear, running for safety,” the judge said.

Donovan Samuda, 29, and Howard Deacon, 37, were killed.

Forbes’ senseless crime grew out of his history of emotionally and
physically abusing Lorna Graham, his ex-girlfriend and mother of his
boy, who was the real target of his venom that night, the judge said.

Trafford also sentenced Forbes to a further concurrent 10 years for
aggravated assault in a horrific 1993 knife attack on Graham in the
hallway of her apartment building, where he stabbed her 13 times.

Forbes, 44, had first pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree
murder and four of attempted murder.

But after the Crown presented its case, he made a surprising guilty plea
to two counts of second-degree murder and one of aggravated assault.

He had remained on the loose for 10 years before being arrested in
Kingston, Jamaica.
