Cory Fenn was just sentenced to life in prison for a triple murder. According to court documents Cory Fenn who in 2018 would murder 39-year-old Krassimira Pejcinovski, her 15-year-old son, Roy, and her daughter, Venellia, 13. Cory Fenn and Krassimira Pejcinovski was in an on and off again relationship when they were going through a breakup that would trigger the brutal killings.

Cory Fenn would stab to death Krassimira Pejcinovski and then murder her fifteen year old son Roy. Cory Fenn would murder Venellia hours later to avoid being caught. Unfortunately the prosecutors were asking for no chance of parole for 72 years however the judge would set his parole eligibility at 25 years however I doubt the parole board will ever set him free again.

A man who murdered his on-again, off-again girlfriend and two of her children has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

Justice Howard Leibovich handed down his sentence to Cory Fenn Tuesday morning in Superior Court in Oshawa.

Fenn, 33, was found guilty of three counts of second-degree murder for the 2018 killings of 39-year-old Krassimira Pejcinovski, her 15-year-old son, Roy, and her daughter, Venellia, 13.

Leibovich decided the parole ineligibility periods for the murders of Pejcinovski and Roy would be served concurrently. 

The judge is now awaiting the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in the Alexander Bissonnette case on whether it is constitutional to impose consecutive periods of parole ineligibility for multiple murders before sentencing Fenn for Venellia’s murder. 

The Quebec Court of Appeal overturned the 40-year period of parole ineligibility for Bissonnette, who pleaded guilty to six counts of first-degree murder after killing six people at a Quebec City mosque in 2017.  

The outcome of the Quebec case could shape how Leibovich sentences Fenn.

Second-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence with a minimum of 10 years before parole eligibility.

Leibovich said the murder of Venellia, who went by Vana, was a separate and distinct act that occurred five hours after the murders of her mother and brother.

“Mr. Fenn killed Vana in a desperate and futile attempt to escape detection,” Leibovich said.

“In my view, having regard to the nature and circumstances of the offences and the character of Mr. Fenn, a consecutive parole ineligibility period must be imposed for the savage and cruel murder of Vana.”

Leibovich called Fenn’s actions “horrific” as he delivered the sentence.

“Mr. Fenn’s actions destroyed the family and caused considerable harm to the community,” Leibovich said Tuesday.

The Crown had sought a sentence of 72 years before Fenn could apply for parole, while Fenn noted 10 years would be “perfect.” Fenn fired his lawyer before the trial and did not call a defence, although a court-appointed lawyer made closing submissions on his behalf.

Fenn lived in the basement of Pejcinovski’s home and the two had a relationship the judge described as “toxic.”

On March 14, 2018, Fenn stabbed Pejcinovski to death.

He went on to attack Roy, who was asleep in his mother’s bed after a night playing video games. Fenn, a large man who had been on steroids, beat and then strangled the boy, court heard.

Fenn later attacked Venellia when the girl went to check on her mother. He beat the teen then stabbed her repeatedly with a butter knife.

Pejcinovski’s boss worried about her and came to the home. Sherry Robinson testified she noticed blood on Fenn’s arm when he answered the door. She demanded to see Pejcinovski, but Fenn said she was asleep. Robinson left and called police.

Fenn bolted before police arrived, but officers eventually tracked him down in a shed at an ex girlfriend’s place.

Fenn told police after his arrest that he was in a state of cocaine psychosis at the time after a five-day binge. The judge didn’t buy it.

Leibovich also did not accept the Crown’s proposed motive that Fenn killed Pejcinovski after a breakup.

Rather, the judge said Fenn’s own words were likely the closest court will hear about a motive. Fenn said he was fed up with Pejcinovski’s questions about him being with another woman, and that he’d “had enough of that.”

 An Ontario man has been found guilty of three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of a woman and two of her children east of Toronto, with the presiding judge calling the attacks “vicious and brutal.”

Cory Fenn had pleaded not guilty to three counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of 39-year-old Krassimira Pejcinovski, her 13-year-old daughter, Venellia, and her 14-year-old son, Roy.

Justice Howard Leibowich did not buy Fenn’s argument that he was in a state of psychosis at the time brought on by a five-day cocaine binge.

“Vicious and brutal are some of the descriptors I can use to describe the attacks,” Leibowich told court in his ruling on Thursday.

The prosecution had said Fenn killed all three in a rage on March 14, 2018, in Ajax, Ont., after Krassimira Pejcinovski broke up with him. The mother and her daughter were found stabbed to death, while the boy was strangled.

Fenn argued he did not have the mental ability to commit the crimes, but did not call a defence.

A court-appointed lawyer assisting Fenn said the man killed all three, but argued he did not have the requisite state of mind to commit murder due to his extensive use of cocaine, rendering him in a psychotic state at the time.

Court heard that Fenn and Pejcinovski had an on-again, off-again relationship while Fenn lived in the basement of Pejcinovski’s home.

“Mr. Fenn and Krissy were involved in an unhealthy, toxic relationship,” Liebowich said.

The Crown said Pejcinovski’s oldest daughter, Victoria, who was 16 at the time, had found cocaine on the stove the day before the deaths. She confronted her mother and told her Fenn had to go, she testified. Krassimira Pejcinovski agreed and said she would break up with Fenn.

Pejcinovski spent much of that night in the basement with Fenn, which she often did in the past, court heard, the pair snorting cocaine together.

Her oldest daughter left around 9:30 p.m. to go to her father’s home and told court she became worried when her mother failed to pick her up for a driving lesson the following morning.

When her mother failed to respond to text messages, she called her younger sister, who was in her bedroom with her friend for a sleepover, court heard. Vana, as she was known, left the room to go check on her mom, court heard.

Shortly after that, the Crown said, Fenn attacked the girl, leaving her eyes blackened, stabbed her with a butter knife and stuffed her body under a bed.

The friend who was in the home for the sleepover testified she heard Fenn coming up the stairs, breathing heavily. He asked her where Victoria was, before turning around returning downstairs, leaving her unharmed

Shortly afterward, Krissy Pejcinovski’s boss showed up, worried after her employee had failed to show up to work.

Sherry Robinson testified she noticed blood on Fenn’s arms and foot. She left, drove down the street and called police.

Fenn took off in his car, which he later ditched at a gas station, and went to an ex’s place. Police found him later that day hiding in a shed.

Pejcinovski suffered multiple fractures to her skull and jaw, had 17 fractured ribs and extensive bruising across her face, neck, torso and limbs, court heard. When she kept breathing after an attempted strangulation in the garage, Fenn left to grab a knife and returned.

The judge said he did know the reason of Fenn’s attack on Pejcinovski, but that the motive did not matter.

“Mr. Fenn had the state of mind that when his initial method was not accomplishing his goal, he went to get a knife to finish the job,” the judge said.

The judge found that Fenn had killed Pejcinovski and Roy by 5 a.m.

Fenn said he never would have done it if he wasn’t high on cocaine, court heard.

In closing arguments in late October, Cory Fenn said he was like “the walking dead” at the time of the killings.

“The mental element was not there,” he said. “It’s like the Wizard of Oz going down the path, ‘if I only had a brain’ — I didn’t have one, guys.”
