Verdict reached in BC’s longest jury trial

After twelve days of deliberations, the verdict is in for the Province’s longest ever jury trial.

The trial started in May 2011, running for nearly 18 months.

Five members or associates of the Vernon Greeks Gang have been found guilty of either first or second-degree murder, or manslaughter in the deaths of two former drug runners and a dealer.

David Marnuik was killed in the summer of 2004.  Thomas Bryce was killed two months later, and Ronald Thom was killed in 2005.

The murders all happened in the Vernon area.

Dale Sipes, Leslie Podolski, Sheldon O’Donnell, Peter Manolakos, and Doug Brownell are the five convicted.

They are reportedly set to appear in court again Thursday.
