The maximum jail term for second-degree murder under juvenile crime laws in Canada is seven years. It includes two years in jail and five years under community supervision.

Since he has already served time and got reprieve in time, he could be free in eight months.

After stabbing Ravi, the accused had 'told his friends in person, over the phone, by text message, and by MSN that he stabbed a guy', the prosecution told the court.

He also admitted that he bleached the knife and threw it into a sewer after the crime. He also threw his clothes and cut his hair after police released information about him.

Expressing outrage over the lenient jail term for the killer of her son, the crying mother said: 'Our Ravi will never return. Our son will never visit... Our son will never age. We must visit him at a grave site.'

An uncle of the victim said: 'We feel betrayed by the law. Where is the justice for taking a life?'
