An Ontario man has been sentenced to life in prison for the attempted murder of a 5-year-old child, in what the province’s Superior Court of Justice described as a “merciless” act of revenge against his former girlfriend seven years ago.
Dyon Smart, 35, who was found guilty in 2022 of attempted murder, aggravated assault, and breaching bail conditions, has been sentenced to life in prison for the violent attack on the son of his ex-partner on July 19, 2018, Justice James Stribopoulos said in a Sept. 24 court document detailing his reasons for judgement.
