THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck A former resident of Fort Nelson, BC, has died in prison, 40 years after he was given an indeterminate sentence for two counts of second-degree murder. Darcy Sidoruk was 18 in 1982 when he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the shooting death of family friend Yvonne Doucette two years earlier in Dawson Creek. Sidoruk also admitted to shooting 19-year-old James Peet, who picked him up while hitchhiking outside Dawson Creek shortly after Douchette was killed. His sentencing hearing in 1982 was told of his long anti-social and criminal past, including charges of assaulting a teacher and a young child, theft, burglary and, aged 14, being the only child expelled from every public school at Fort Nelson. A psychiatrist told the hearing that Sidoruk suffered severe burns in an accident aged three and spent much of his childhood recovering alone in hospital before his parents abandoned him and placed him in the care of a relative, where he suffered more abuse. Sidoruk, who was 58, was serving his sentence at the Pacific Institution in Abbotsford, and a statement from the facility said police and the coroner have been notified and the Correctional Service of Canada will also look into the death.
