Wife-killer sentenced to life in prison

Life in prison with no chance of freedom for 14 years.


That's the sentence for a Coquitlam man who murdered the mother of his two sons last year.


James Mou has been sentenced following a two-day hearing in New Westminster's BC Supreme Court.


Earlier this week, the 36 year old, originally charged with first degree murder, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second degree murder.


It's believed he beat and strangled his estranged wife Lancy Hu in July of 2011.


The 27-year old mother's body was found more than a month later in a suitcase pulled from the Fraser River near Steveston by fishermen.


The couple had been fighting over custody of their children, who are now three and four years old.


Mou confessed when he was arrested in September of last year.

    Canada needs the return of capitol punishment. Cut your wife into pieces,stuff her in a suitcase,toss her into a lake and plead out to 2nd. degree. That is sicker than the actual act.

    Any adult person , male or female who is proven to have deliberately killed or raped another person should ,and could quickly ,be shot without delays and expense. This could be done by firing squad of 5 or more 50 cal. rifles bolted to a bench rest in a predetermined and aimed position connected to electrically controlled fire mechanism's wired into a timer. Lowlife is strapped to a platform at 10-20 yards. cost after design would be about 2.00 per round. If slimy crissy clark wanted to she could most likely get some reelection points from this and appear much less slimy than using a Amanda's heartbreaking suicide to garner votes like she attempted on TV.
