‘I STILL WAKE UP THINKING SHE’S RIGHT THERE’ ▶ SURREY MOM JULIE PASKALL’S FAMILY FACES HER KILLER IN COURT AS HE PLEADS GUILTY AND RECEIVES HIS JAIL SENTENCE
KEVIN DIAKIW
The man who killed a hockey mom in Newton two-and-ahalf years ago has received a 10-year prison sentence for the crime. On Friday (May 22), Yosef Jomo Gopaul, 28, was also given a two-year sentence for the violent robbery of a different woman two weeks before the Dec. 29, 2013 killing of Julie Paskall. Gopaul was originally charged with second-degree murder. However, evidence revealed Paskall had a heart condition and suffered a heart attack, likely brought on by a blow to the head that forced her to the ground, where she fractured her skull. Gopaul pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.

In an agreed statement of facts read by Crown counsel Wendy Stephen, Gopaul approached Paskall on Dec. 29, 2013. Paskall had driven her Dodge Caravan into the Newton Wave Pool parking lot at 7120 136B St. to pick up her son at the Newton ice arena. As she walked toward the arena, she was struck by Gopaul on the back or side of her head with a 1.2 kg (2.6 pound) rock, about the size of a grapefruit, causing her to fall face down in the parking lot with her arms by her side. She remained there for 20 minutes before someone found her there, virtually lifeless. Gopaul had grabbed her purse with lottery tickets and a small amount of money (estimated to be $20 or $30) and ran off. Julie Paskall continued on page 3
