Life sentence given to man for murdering Ottawa family in 2024

Crown Attorney Dallas Mack discusses the life sentence handed to a man who pleaded guilty to murdering a mother, her four children and a family friend in Ottawa in 2024. Febrio De-Zoysa was sentenced to life in prison, with no chance of parole for 25 years. Mack calls the murders "deliberate" and "intentional" while lauding the bravery and resilience of Dhanushka Wickramasinghe, the husband and father of the deceased. De-Zoysa's defence attorney, Ewan Little, says the plea was the product of a negotiated resolution. (Nov 6, 2025)
