Charles Kembo of Vancouver, B.C., was convicted of murdering his wife, a former girlfriend, his step-daughter and a business partner.

Since October, a B.C. Supreme Court jury heard dozens of witnesses and saw thousands of exhibits from Crown prosecutors who argued Kembo had hatched an elaborate scam to profit from his victims.

On Friday, jurors found Kembo guilty on four counts of first degree murder. Judge Sunni Stromberg-Stein sentenced him to life in prison without eligibility for parole for 25 years.

Kembo's wife Margaret Kembo's body was never found. The bodies of his 20-year-old daughter Rita Yeung and his ex-girlfriend Sui Yin Ma were discovered in Richmond, B.C.

His business partner and friend Ardon Samuel was found strangled to death in a Vancouver park.
