Johnson Aziga became the first Canadian convicted of first degree murder on April 4, 2009, crime that carries a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Aziga is known to have infected at least seven women since he was diagnosed as HIV positive in 1996. Two of those women died from AIDS related cancers one of whom recorded a death bed confession for police in which she said that Aziga never told her he was HIV positive and that she would have refused to have sex with him if she knew about it.
Aziga was also convicted of 10 of the 11 charges of aggravated sexual assault that he faced for having unprotected sex with a total of 13 women including the seven that he had infected and the two that he killed.
As of December 30, 2009 his official sentencing is on hold pending a psychiatric evaluation. His attorneys have always claimed that he suffers from some sort of brain disorder that influenced his crimes. Whatever his disorder we are confident that he will remain were he needs to be until he can be placed six feet underground where he belongs.
