Thirty-four year old Charles Anthony Leslie was found guilty of second degree murder back in May. Thirty year old Babak Najafi-Chaghabouri was convicted of first degree murder.
Thirty one year old Ronak Wagad was abducted from his home in Vancouver and driven to Chilliwack, where he was killed with an axe.
The Province newspaper reports both Leslie and Najafi-Chaghabouri have been handed sentences of life in prison.
Najafi-Chaghabouri is not eligible for parole for twenty five years. Leslie is not eligible for parole for sixteen years.
The men were also given fifteen years for kidnapping. Those sentences will be served at the same time as their life sentences.
