WINNIPEG ? A Winnipeg jury found Sydney Teerhuis guilty on Tuesday of second-degree murder in one of the city's most gruesome killings.
Teerhuis stabbed, beheaded, castrated, dismembered and disembowelled Robin Greene inside a suite of the Royal Albert Arms Hotel in July 2003.
He had sought a conviction for manslaughter, arguing he was too intoxicated to form the required intent to kill.
The Crown argued during closing arguments last week that Teerhuis is the personification of "evil" who is trying to play a sadistic joke on the justice system.
Defence lawyer Greg Brodsky said his client was suffering from "disorganized thinking and impaired judgment" at the time, and deserved the benefit of the doubt from jurors.
The Crown said it's impossible for a person to be so intoxicated, he wouldn't remember stabbing a man 68 times and cutting up his body with "surgical-like precision" over the course of several hours, eventually disposing of his organs.
They also cited the fact Teerhuis wrote a series of chilling letters to a Winnipeg man, in which he boasted about the slaying and provided graphic details.
