VICTORIA — A father who killed his four- and six-year-old daughters on Christmas Day in 2017 will have to serve 22 years before he’s eligible for parole.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Miriam Gropper told Andrew Berry that he committed heinous crimes against his daughters as she sentenced him today in Victoria.

A jury convicted Berry of second-degree murder in September in the violent deaths of his daughters, Aubrey and Chloe Berry.

Second-degree murder brings an automatic life sentence but Gropper had to determine Berry’s parole eligibility.

Gropper says Berry will serve the sentences concurrently.
