PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. - A Nova Scotia man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering a man in New York state in 2007.
A judge in Plattsburgh, N.Y., handed down Glen Race's sentence this afternoon.
Race of Dartmouth, N.S., faced 25 years to life in prison for killing Darcy Manor in Mooers, N.Y., in May 2007.
Race's trial heard that he crossed the border into the United States following the deaths of two Halifax-area men.
Race is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Trevor Charles Brewster, 45, and second-degree murder in the slaying of Michael Paul Knott, 44.
Nova Scotia's public prosecution service plans to ask the federal Justice Department to request Race be extradited to Canada to stand trial on those charges.
