Former Ont. fire captain not eligible for parole for 20 years for wife’s murder

  • James Schwalm, a former fire captain, has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 20 years for killing his wife, Ashley Schwalm, in January 2023, according to an Ontario judge.
  • Schwalm pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and admitted to strangling his wife before staging her death to look like a car crash, as stated in court documents.
  • Ashley Schwalm's body was found in a burning SUV, and an autopsy revealed she died from neck compressions, not from the fire, as reported by a forensic pathologist.
  • The judge ruled Schwalm must have no contact with his two children until they turn 18, highlighting the egregious nature of his actions, according to Justice Michelle Fuerst.
