Ryan Grantham, whose acting credits include “Riverdale” and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” has been given a life sentence for the murder of his mother.
After the 2020 event, according to the prosecution, the former actor, 24, admitted to killing his mother on his own GoPro camera.
“I gave her a headshot to the back. She would have recognised me shortly after, “He reportedly stated, per TMZ.
Ryan allegedly shot his mother while she practised the piano, according to the prosecution.
Ryan admitted guilt to second-degree murder for the passing of his mother, Barbara Waite, six months ago. On Wednesday, September 21, a judge in British Columbia, Canada, handed him a life sentence in prison. The situation was “life-shattering,” she said.
Additionally, things may have out far worse. According to the prosecution, Ryan also wanted to kill Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada. In truth, Ryan packed his car with weapons, ammo, Molotov cocktails, and directions to the Prime Minister’s house the day after his mother passed away. Even in his diary, he discussed his ambitions for Trudeau.
Ryan reportedly considered carrying out a mass massacre as he was heading to Trudeau’s house, according to CBC.ca. He abandoned his preparations, nevertheless, and surrendered to Vancouver police.
It was a “saving grace,” according to the judge Kathleen Ker, that Ryan did not act on his ideas.
Ryan, who portrayed Rodney James in “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and Jeffery Augustine in “Riverdale,” will be ineligible for parole for 14 years.
