Dow was found in his underwear on Barker Street with several stab wounds back in March.
During the youth's sentencing hearing, the court was told that Dow met him over the internet and paid him over a thousand dollar to model in a photoshoot. During the course of the shoot, the 17-year old drank over 9 beers and the two were intimate.
The youth then grabbed a kitchen knife and locked himself in the bathroom. He then texted his girlfriend that he was going to kill Dow and proceeded to chase him to Barker Street where he stabbed him.
Justice Hugh McLellan says he did not give the youth the maximum sentence of 3 years because he turned himself into Hampton RCMP shortly after the killing.
