A Calgary judge has sentenced Joshua Weise to 18 months in jail for dismembering a woman’s body.
Weise pleaded guilty to committing an indignity to a human body last November in the death of Joey English.
Weise said he panicked when he found English dead inside his home from an apparent drug overdose and disposed of her body.
Judge Mike Dinkel said the crime was incomprehensible and caused pain to the young woman’s family and friends.
He sentenced Weise to 18 months in jail followed by three years of probation with drug and alcohol counselling.
With time served, Dinkel said the sentence means Weise will spend another seven months in jail.
