Philip murdered his pregnant wife Karissa
(UK Mirror)A 29-yr-old pastor has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after he was found guilty of killing his wife.
Philip Grandine who was 25 at that time was married to 29-yr-old Anne Karissa carrying a 5 month-old pregnancy, reportedly drugged his wife's drink and drowned her in a bathtub after she caught him cheating.
Grandine was a pastor at a Baptist Church in Toronto, Canada, and regarded as an upstanding member of the community. He also worked as a senior nurse in a retirement home.
Karissa had reportedly forgiven his philandering ways and he pretended to make up for it by preparing her a smoothie as a touching gesture.
UK Mirror reports that after three years of marriage, Karissa was five months pregnant and couldn’t wait to be a mum. But her world had been shaken when she discovered Philip was having an affair with one of his parishioners, Eileen Florentino, who was 36.
Karissa thought they were just friends and felt betrayed.
Philip had apologised over the affair and began marriage counseling, he had also asked for forgiveness from Karissa - but within days he was back having sex with his mistress in his car.
He had also been caught watching pornography online and looking up local escort services. So Karissa insisted a filter was put on the computer to stop his access.
Two months after the affair was exposed, Philip drugged and drowned his wife, killing her and their unborn baby.
An autopsy revealed she had powerful sedative Lorazepam, also known as Ativan, in her system. It hadn’t been prescribed to her.
In January this year, Philip Grandine, reportedly showed no emotion as he was found guilty of the manslaughter of his wife Karissa. Superior Court Justice Robert Clark sentenced him to just under 15 years in prison
