Man gets life term for 2016 murder

A man who pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of a woman in Yarrow has been sentenced to life in prison. Clayton Jacob Warkentin will not be eligible for parole for a decade, investigators said Tuesday. On Feb. 24, 2016, Chilliwack RCMP were asked to check on Lois Unger, 51, at her home in Yarrow. Officers found Unger dead inside and evidence that her death was a murder. Very few details were made public at the time, but police did say that it appeared to be domestic violence. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called in and just over a week later, police arrested Warkentin, who was 19. Last month, Warkentin pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Unger’s death.
