A Calgary man who says he strangled his wife because he "just wanted her to stop talking" and then buried her body in the backyard has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years.
Joshua Burgess, 31, pleaded guilty Monday to second-degree murder in the death of his wife, Shannon Madill, 25, on the day his trial was to begin.
His admissions came as part of an agreed statement of facts read aloud in a Calgary courtroom.
Madill and Burgess had been in the process of a breakup when they got into an argument in November 2014.
She insulted him, saying she wished she'd never married him, according to the agreed statement of facts.
After he killed her — strangling her with his hands and then his belt — Burgess put Madill's body in a plastic bin that sat through the winter on the patio of the home they shared in the Ramsay neighbourhood.
