MONCTON, N.B. – 26 year-old Joshua Robert Terry has been sentenced to life in prison for murder and a long list of other charges.

Terry appeared in a Moncton courtroom today via videolink from a Quebec prison.

Earlier this year, Terry pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of 44 year-old Daniel Pepin at Dorchester’s Shepody Healing Centre in September of 2010.

He pleaded guilty to aggravated assault after attacking another prisoner at the Restigouche Hospital in Campbellton.

Terry also pleaded guilty to several charges in a hostage taking at a Lakeville convenience store in August 2010.

He will spend the next 20 years in prison with no chance of parole.
