A 58-year-old man who befriended a 16-year-old B.C. girl seven years ago has been sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 20 years after being found guilty of second-degree murder in her death.

Steven Bacon admitted to killing Makayla Chang in his Nanaimo home on March 17, 2017.

Chang had turned 16 just a few weeks before. 

In handing down the sentence, B.C. Supreme Court justice Robin Baird told Bacon he had “committed an appalling crime, a cowardly crime, a vicious crime.”
