Vitali Stefanski Sentencing Set in Lumby Murder Case
The jury found Vitali Stefanski guilty after a monthlong trial that heard evidence about fatal stab wounds to Tatjana Stefanski.
Vitali Stefanski's sentencing for the murder of his ex-wife, Tatjana Stefanski, is set for November 12 and 13, 2026, with two days allocated for the proceedings.
On April 14, 2024, Tatjana was found dead down a steep embankment off Mabel Lake Road, a rural logging road outside Lumby; Vitali was charged with her murder in May.
Following a month-long trial in the Supreme Court in Kamloops, a jury found Vitali guilty of murder in June after he had previously entered a not-guilty plea.
Tatjana, the mother of two children with Vitali, was the victim; the trial heard evidence of fatal stab wounds that led to his guilty verdict.
