'One-man wrecking ball' should get 20-25 years without parole: Crown

A man who brutally beat his girlfriend to death and left her decomposing body for nearly a month in his apartment should spend 20-25 years behind bars before he can apply for parole, a prosecutor argued Monday.
In October, a B.C. Supreme Court jury found Daniel Alphonse Paul, 45, guilty of the second-degree murder of Crystal Rose Paul, 36, a mother of five.
Second-degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison with a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 25 years of parole ineligibility.
