A drunk driver who killed three children and their grandfather in a horrific crash last September is to be sentenced next month.
29-year-old Marco Muzzo pleaded guilty earlier this month to four counts of impaired driving causing death and two of impaired driving causing bodily harm.
Muzzo’s S-U-V slammed into a van in Vaughan — killing nine-year-old Daniel Neville-Lake, his five-year-old brother Harrison, their two-year-old sister Milly, and their 65-year-old grandfather, Gary Neville.
Muzzo stood before a court in Newmarket on Wednesday and told the grieving family that he wished he could erase his “inexcusable” actions and that he was “tortured by the grief and the pain” he has caused an entire family.
But his apology was rejected by the children’s parents, who left the court as Muzzo was about to speak.
There is no maximum sentence for impaired driving causing death and the Crown is calling for a sentence of 10 to 12 years.
The defence argues an eight-year sentence would be sufficient, with credit for the four months he has already spent in custody.
Muzzo is to be sentenced on March 29th.
