Kenneth Fenton (far right) is seen leaving court on May 25.

A little less than 15 months after the horrific crash that killed 32-year old RCMP Constable Sarah Beckett, the man at the wheel of the vehicle that slammed into her police cruiser in a Langford intersection will be sentenced.

Kenneth Jacob Fenton pleaded guilty in late May to two counts including impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing in connection with the April 2016 collision that claimed the life of the 11-year veteran of the force.

The maximum sentence for impaired driving causing death is life in prison, while the maximum penalty for dangerous driving causing death is 14 years.

29-year old Fenton will be sentenced in Colwood on June 29th.
