‘A no from me’: B.C. teen’s killer refuses to listen to victim impact statement

A man convicted of murdering a young teenage Burnaby girl has repeatedly told a pre-sentencing hearing that he didn’t kill her, after refusing to listen to his interpreter during an impact statement by the girl’s father.

But Ali, who was appearing in B.C. Supreme Court by video link, refused to pick up the phone to listen to his interpreter, prompting a long exchange with Judge Lance Bernard who asked for an explanation.Ali told Bernard in broken English that listening to the girl’s father was “a no from me,” saying he “did not kill” the man’s daughter and was not in Burnaby’s Central Park the day she was murdered.

Before testing the father’s video, the court discussed plans for Friday’s sentencing hearing, and the Crown summarized the post-release restrictions they will be seeking.At that point, Ali interjected through his interpreter, saying: “Tell the judge now, tell the judge now, I didn’t kill that girl and I didn’t walk into that park.”
