Boutros, 25, a Coquitlam plumber, had been in a Whistler nightclub, Tommy Africa's, earlier in the evening with friends when there was a minor verbal confrontation between Gianis and one of Boutros' group of friends.

The Boutros group left the club after midnight and were walking back to their hotel but took a wrong turn and encountered the Gianis group.

The friend of Boutros who had the earlier confrontation with Gianis advised his friends not to make eye contact, but Boutros went up to Gianis, shook his hand and apologized for the earlier encounter.

At trial, a jury convicted Richard of second-degree murder.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Christopher Hinkson, in sentencing Richard to life in prison with no parole for 16 years, said Richard had accepted a "violent and illegal lifestyle" and the sentence imposed was to deter similar gun-related crimes.

"The killing of Mr. Boutros was motiveless, impulsive and senseless," Hinkson said.

On appeal, Richard argued the trial judge erred in instructing the jury as to how to assess evidence and on the issue of self-defence.

A three-judge panel of the Appeal Court found no error by the trial judge, so unanimously dismissed Richard's appeal.
