A judge has ruled that a Cornwall man who killed a child in 2008 will serve 18 years in prison before he can apply for parole.
Twenty-three-year-old Shane Haley pled guilty to second-degree murder earlier this year.
He stabbed five-year-old Alissa Martin Travers at a Cumberland Street home.
Murder carries a life sentence but lawyers laid out their case two weeks ago on when Haley should be able to apply for parole.
The Crown wanted 20 years but the defence wanted 15.
Judge Robert Pelletier made his ruling late this morning.
