Court heard in victim impact statements how Bung had recently graduated high school, was looking forward to going to culinary school and was working in a local restaurant in her home community of Lac du Bonnet, about 90 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg.
Bung was stopped at the town’s gas station on her way to work one morning when she randomly ran into Belyk, who was on a drug bender.
