Three teenagers, the two boys have planned out there murder. The girl thinks these boys are her friends... For hours they torture her, kill and burn her body.
Read the PDFs included, they are transcripts from the police interviews with these monsters here's a snippet of the 7 hr transcriptions. 6940 CM: Which is why I didn't categorize it because here down was covered and
6941 just restrained um, here down so, m-, the nose and, there’s no air
6942 passageway blockage, so I wasn’t categorizing that as the cause of
6943 asphyxiation.
6944 Martin: I see. Okay. So, at the t-, at the time that she’s in the residence then at
6945 that point then it’s uh-

6957 Martin: Okay. A-and the sock is in the mouth to suppress that voice. Is that right? Also included are the two boys chatting with each other about the crime and the chat between the girl and the killer where he invites her over for some fun. Some news clips.. A sentencing hearing for two teenaged B.C. boys convicted of the murder of a female classmate has heard victim impact statements from the girl's family and an apology from one of the killers.
The two boys, who where 16 and 17 at the time of the murder in March 2010, lured Kimberly Proctor to one of the boy's homes.
They admitted sexually assaulting Proctor, 18, killing her and mutilating her body before stuffing it into a freezer. They then took the remains in a duffle bag onto a bus to a popular Victoria-area hiking trail, where they dumped the body and set it on fire.
"There truly is evil in the world and my daughter came face to face with that evil," said the victim's mother, Lucia Proctor.
The court also heard a letter Tuesday from the boy who was 16 when he took part in the murder.
"I am deeply sorry for what I have done ... it will never happen again ... as I child I hated my father for what he had done."
The boy's father had been convicted of killing a 16-year-old girl.
The judge in the case must decide whether or not to sentence the two youths as adults. The pair, who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, would serve a maximum of ten years if they were sentenced as young offenders.
Both teens were described in assessment reports as psychopaths with sexual deviance and conduct disorder.
One of the boys had trouble controlling his anger and his disdain for others from an early age.
Decision Monday
He got into fights in elementary school and in high school was expelled for hitting a boy in the head with a chain.
He was also charged with assaulting his mother in November 2009.
Although he had received counselling at various periods in his life, a court ordered that he be monitored to at least age 50.
There is little chance for rehabilitation in cases like this, psychologist Dr. Derek Swain told CBC News.
"I think it's very scary to think that a couple of characters like this, with this kind of background, would be let loose on society," said Swain. "I think it's very worrisome."
Defense lawyers for the teens said they would not argue against their clients being sentenced as adults. A packed Victoria courtroom heard disturbing details Monday about the sexual assault and murder of 18-year-old Kimberly Proctor.
Proctor's burned body was found last March near the popular Galloping Goose hiking trail in Victoria.
Her killers, who were minors at the time, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in October 2010. The Crown is pursuing its case to have the teens sentenced as adults.
Monday morning, Proctor's friends and relatives were in attendance in force at the first day of hearings on the sentencing. Some gasped — one yelled "freaks" — as the clean-cut 17-year-old and 18-year-old killers were led into the prisoners docks in shackles.
Crown prosecutor Peter Juk quoted from emails and online chats between the killers to prove their crime was pre-meditated. The Crown is arguing that the offenders each deserve a life sentence instead of the maximum 10-year sentence that can be issued to a youth offender.
Electronic records revealed that Proctor briefly dated the 17-year-old. She broke off the relationship in a text message in October 2009 and, in the months following, Proctor received abusive emails from her ex and one of his friends.
In March 2010, the ex-boyfriend offered to explain everything and apologize in person. Meanwhile, he had been texting with the other teen, planning details of how they would assault her together.
In one exchange, the two teenage boys exchanged information gleaned from the internet on body positions — one of which was the position Proctor's body was placed before it was burned.
In another exchange, the two boys discussed what types of objects they would use in the repeated sexual assaults they were planning, Juk said.
There were gasps in the courtroom Monday as the Crown revealed Proctor was likely still alive when her killers put her in a freezer and that the two boys probably also had sex with her after she was dead and before they took her body in a duffle bag on a bus to the trail where they set her on fire.
The hearing is set to last two weeks, during which time the Crown also plans to present psychological reports on the two admitted killers. The parents of a Victoria teen who was tortured and murdered by two classmates say they never want to see the killers released from jail.
Kimberly Proctor, 18, was lured, then sexually assaulted before being killed and her body dumped and burned near a popular hiking trail in March 2010.
Kimberly's parents, Fred and Lucia Proctor, said they wish their daughter's killers faced a more severe punishment than the one they got: life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years.
"These animals aren't rehabilitable," said Fred Proctor outside the court after sentencing Monday. "They deserve to die a long, slow, horrific, painful death."
Lucia Proctor said she didn't even want to call them animals.
"To me, they're just monsters," she said. Sentenced as adults
Crown prosecutors had argued for adult sentences during the sentencing hearing last week and the teens' lawyers didn't oppose the Crown's application, because it could give the pair better access to education and rehabilitation.
Normally in Canada, an adult convicted of first-degree murder receives an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. An exception had to be made in this case because, although Wellwood and Moffat were sentenced as adults, they were originally convicted under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
If the pair had not been sentenced as adults, they would have received a maximum of six years in custody and another four years to be served in the community.
During the hearing the identity of the two youths was protected by a publication ban because of their age, but the judge lifted that publication ban on Monday.
It can also now be revealed that Wellwood's father, Robert Raymond Dezwaan, was convicted of first-degree murder for the killing of 16-year-old Cherish Oppenheim in Merritt in 2001. That information had been included in the publication ban because it could have indirectly revealed Wellwood's identity.
The Crown also released transcripts of conversations between the two convicted murderers recorded after they were apprehended by police.
Burned body found under bridge
The two teens pleaded guilty in October to the first-degree murder of Proctor, a classmate, whose body was found on a popular hiking trail in Langford in March 2010. They later confessed they lured her to a home, bound and gagged her, then raped and beat her hours before suffocating her and mutilating her body.
The pair then transported Proctor's body by bus to the wooded area under a bridge on the Galloping Goose trail to burn it.
Both teens were described in assessment reports presented at the sentencing hearing as psychopaths with sexual deviance and conduct disorder. Experts found both had long histories of violence and anti-social behaviour and were at high risk to rape and kill again for up to 40 years. Kruse Wellwood, 17, and Cameron Moffat, 18, received the lengthy sentences, even though Wellwood was 16 and Moffat was 17 years old at the time of the murder. Supreme Court Justice Robert Johnson ruled Monday in Victoria that they should be sentenced as adults.
The teen killers who raped and murdered 18-year-old Kimberly Proctor are psychopaths and sexual sadists with little or no capacity for remorse and almost no chance of rehabilitation in the next 25 to 30 years, various psychologists and psychiatrists testified at their trial.
Kruse Wellwood, 17, and Cameron Moffat, 18, were sentenced this week to life in prison with no chance of parole for at least 10 years for killing Proctor, whose charred remains were discovered on a popular Victoria-area hiking trail on March 19, 2010, one day after her family reported her missing.
The disturbing details of her death, and the twisted young minds that planned and carried out the horrific slaying, emerged after a publication ban was lifted in the case.
Documents released by the court Wednesday include transcripts of police interviews, in which Moffat describes how he and his friend bound Proctor’s ankles and wrists with duct tape and then took turns sexually assaulting her.
“If you’re gonna restrain anything you know, like, um, shackles in prison you know,” Moffat tells RCMP interrogator Martin D’Anjou. “Legs and arms and like, when you hog-tie a hog, you use extremities.”
During a long interview in which Moffatt is too immature to even say out loud what he did to the young woman, he later tells the officer he sat in the living room watching TV while Wellwood beat and sexually assaulted her in another room.
“I went and sat in the living room just, the TV was on and, just sittin’ there wholeheartedly … tryin’ to forget what’s happening and uh, watching the TV,” he said.
The youths, who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder last fall, lured the Grade 12 student to Wellwood’s home, where they sexually assaulted her for several hours.
Court heard they beat Proctor unconscious, suffocated her with a plastic bag and stuffed her body in a deep freeze at the home. The next day they loaded her mutilated body into a duffel bag and travelled by bus to a well-known high school party spot beneath the Galloping Goose regional trail bridge, where they set the body ablaze using a can of camp stove fuel.
During sentencing arguments, court heard that the two longtime friends met each other in Grade 5 and began dropping out of school together, lighting fires for kicks and displaying a growing tendency for violence.
In his reasons for judgment, B.C. Supreme Court Judge Robert Johnston noted that the two killers shared an interest in computers that “expanded to include violent and sexual fantasies” as they became teenagers.
But long before they planned the murder in the fall of 2009, the local school district identified both teens as high-risk students with troubled backgrounds.
Wellwood’s crime bears an eerie resemblance to one committed by his father, Robert Dezwann, who was convicted of first-degree murder in the 2001 killing of 16-year-old Cherish Oppenheim of Merritt. Dezwaan is serving life in prison, with no chance of parole for 15 years, after admitting he got the teenager drunk, had sex with her and then beat her to death.
Wellwood’s lawyer, Bob Jones, said earlier this week his client was the target of schoolyard taunts over his father.
As early as Grade 7, Wellwood displayed severe anti-social behaviour and school officials felt he posed “a serious risk to himself or others,” court heard.
In 2008, while attending Pacific Secondary, the same school as Proctor, Wellwood was declared “beyond the capacity” of teachers and school officials to manage. Identified as “potentially gifted,” despite his “rude, arrogant and superior attitude,” he was allowed back into school in April 2009.
Court heard he verbally and physically abused his mother and was involved in fights, in one case slashing another teen’s head open with a bicycle chain and suffering a broken nose in another altercation. In the summer of 2009, Wellwood was hospitalized following a bout of excessive drinking.
During sentencing Monday, Johnston noted that Moffat was sexually abused at age three and became “difficult to manage, destructive and dangerous” at an early age.
After his parents separated at age nine, he refused to attend after-school care while his mother was at work, resulting “in a lot of unsupervised time,” Johnston noted.
Psychiatric reports entered as evidence in court said Moffat started hitting his sister at age 10 and had frequent conflicts both in his family and outside the home.
He was suspended twice at one school and, two months before Proctor’s murder, was banned indefinitely from another school for threatening his sister with a pair of box cutters. In his last four years of school, Moffat passed just five classes.
In November 2009, as their violent fantasies were spinning out of control, the friends talked about raping a girl they knew from high school, whom Wellwood was romantically involved with at the time.
Proctor was chosen as their victim just weeks prior to her death. Both had made romantic overtures toward her the previous year, advances she spurned.
On the day of the murder, while Proctor’s body was in the Wellwood family freezer, Moffat contacted a former girlfriend and invited her over to the house.
In the following days, Moffat sent a message to Wellwood, referring to a character in the online role playing game World of Warcraft, that said: “So we killed that bitch and it wasn’t too hard, we should do it again.” Teens who killed classmate are psychopaths, sexual sadists, court heard.

On the day of the murder, while Proctor's body was in the Wellwood family freezer, Moffat contacted a former girlfriend and invited her over to the house.
In the following days, Moffat sent a message to Wellwood, referring to a character in the online role playing game World of Warcraft, that said: "So we killed that bitch and it wasn't too hard, we should do it again." One of the teens convicted of raping and killing 18-year-old Kimberly Proctor sent his friend a note a week after the murder suggesting they find another victim.
"So since we killed that b--and it wasnt to (sic) hard we should do it again!" wrote Cameron Alexander Moffat in an online chat message released to the media on Wednesday.
Moffat, 18, and Kruse Hendrik Wellwood, 17, were sentenced to life in prison in Victoria on Monday after pleading guilty to first-degree murder in October.
The chat messages, part of the evidence gathered by RCMP major crime investigators, were released Wednesday along with a videotape of Moffat's interview with police.
In the interview, Moffat tried to downplay his role in the attack -in which the Victoria-area teen was tied up, gagged, sexually assaulted, beaten, suffocated and mutilated with a knife over a period of several hours. They then burned her body. Last June, in an RCMP interrogation room, Moffat tried to shift much of the blame for the horrific crime to Wellwood.
Though bigger and stronger, Moffat implied that he was under the younger boy's control, following his orders to tie up and rape their victim. Kruse "was instructing me to do it repeatedly," Moffat told RCMP interrogator Sgt. Martin D'Anjou in a calm voice.
"And, you know at one point he like, shuts me in his room with her and he's like, 'Do it,' and I'm like, 'I'm not' . . . And eventually he's just like screaming and stuff and won't even close the door."
Moffat said after he raped Proctor, he went into the living room and watched TV, trying to think of nothing.
There are some details he doesn't give up, saying they're too disgusting to verbalize. Moffat described Wellwood as nuts, and D'Anjou asked: "So do you think Kruse has lost it by this time?"
Moffat responded: "I'd bloody well lost it, like, I don't know what the hell's going on."
But the online chats in the hours before the killing suggest Moffat knew full well what to expect. The boys discussed their murder plans in detail, describing how they intended to lure her to Wellwood's home, kill her and then dispose of the body. They even drew up a map of possible places to leave her body, circling remote areas northwest of the Victoria suburb of Langford, although they'd end up choosing a spot beneath a bridge on the Galloping Goose Trial.
"I'm going to rip her nose ring out and burn it," Wellwood wrote at one point. "Burn her flesh." "Try and get her early," Moffat replied.
Later, Moffat said, "I want to get it done. I don't want to wait."
"I'm not killing her right away," Wellwood replied.
RCMP investigators used the boys' text and online chat conversations to help get a confession from Moffat, posting them on a large white board in the interview room.
They also told Moffat about the DNA evidence they had linking him to the crime. Though he started out the interview refusing to shed light on what exactly happened, Moffat eventually disclosed many of the details of the crime, while trying to minimize his own involvement.
Over the course of nine hours, the officers lead Moffat to reveal in increasing detail the attack.
"So how does that attack part start then?" D'Anjou asked.
"Kruse," Moffat said.
A few minutes later: "Kruse is obviously big enough and capable enough to keep things under control and that's just where I'm yelled at even though I'm just standing there, y'know, shock and awe, mouth open, what the f-."
In his decision on Monday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robert Johnston concluded both teens were full and active participants in the murder.
Court officials have released more evidence from the trial of the two Victoria-area teenagers who killed Kimberly Proctor.
The judge decided to release the evidence after the media requested it be released at court hearing on Tuesday. The decision followed the sentencing of Cameron Alexander Moffat,18, and Kruse Hendrick Wellwood, 17, to life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years on Monday.
The material being released on Wednesday includes a video police interrogation of Moffat, text messages between Moffat and Wellwood intercepted by police, online chats between the killers and Proctor, RCMP's search warrant documents, forensic lab reports and DNA analysis.
Proctor's family has indicated they wish the material to be released to the public. CBC News will publish the material online as soon as it become available.
The pair had pleaded guilty to luring Proctor to Wellwood's home where they bound, raped and murdered her, before transporting her body by bus to a wooded area and burning it beneath a bridge.
Despite their ages, the judge ruled that Wellwood and Moffat should be sentenced as adults and that their identities should not be protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Tried to lure other teen
Some of the text messages appear to show Moffat communicating with an ex-girlfriend, trying to convince her to come to Wellwood's home, just hours after killing Kimberly Proctor.
Proctor's aunt, Joanne Landolt, said she takes some comfort in the fact that the girl refused to go there.
"I am so very glad that girl didn't come over to meet you the night after you did this to Kim. By doing that, she saved her own life and spared her family from going through what we have," said Landolt on Monday.
During the sentencing hearing, Crown prosecutors played a wiretap intercept of a conversation between Moffat and Wellwood that was recorded as the pair was transported in a sheriff's van to make their first court appearance in June.
In the recording, the teens could be heard laughing and discussing their hair and shoes and making light of the charges against them. |
