Eight years after the killing of a Manitoba woman in 2007, the Vancouver man now accused in her death pleaded guilty to choking two B.C. women in a pair of attacks that left both victims fearing for their lives.
According to court documents obtained by CBC, Kevin Charles Queau was sentenced in August 2015 to five years in prison in after admitting to the aggravated sexual assault of one woman and the aggravated assault of another.
One of his victims said she was sexually assaulted for up to five hours, beaten to a point where “her nose was bleeding, her lips were black and there was blood and discoloration on her teeth.”
Despite having a name and a photograph, Krupa said police didn’t locate Queau until December 2014, when his DNA ultimately turned up in relation to the second incident.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
One of his victims said she was sexually assaulted for up to five hours, beaten to a point where “her nose was bleeding, her lips were black and there was blood and discoloration on her teeth.”
Queau was arrested in Vancouver this week and charged with second-degree murder in the death of Crystal Saunders, a woman last seen by a Winnipeg police officer getting into a vehicle on a street corner on April 18, 2007.
In an audio recording of the 2015 sentencing hearing obtained by CBC, Krupa told Judge Gregory Rideout DNA also played a crucial role in tying the accused to the two B.C.
Despite having a name and a photograph, Krupa said police didn’t locate Queau until December 2014, when his DNA ultimately turned up in relation to the second incident.
“The next thing [she] remembers is waking up terrified — she thought she was going to die — and then Mr. Queau calmly putting his pants on, calling a cab and leaving.”
The CBC has obtained court records relating to Queau in Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C., for charges including theft and using a forged cheque.
