Ryan Grantham, ‘Riverdale’ actor, sentenced to life in prison for killing his mother

Actor Ryan Grantham was sentenced to life in prison after killing his mother in 2020, as reported by Deadline. Grantham appeared in an episode of “Riverdale” as Jeffery Augustine, in “Greg’s Diary” as Rodney Jades and in “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” as Anton, as well as in episodes of “Supernatural” and “iZombie”.

The story of the event is quite bizarre. Ryan Grantham shot his mother in the head with a shotgun as she played the piano. He then recorded the body with a Go-Pro camera and filmed himself confessing to the crime.. He then placed his mother’s body “in a semi-religious scene”. After drinking beer and smoking marijuana, she filled her car with 12 Molotov cocktails, three guns, ammunition, and camping gear. He drove 200 kilometers, but turned around and showed up at the Vancouver Police Station, where he confessed to killing his own mother.

He wanted to attack Justin Trudeau

Among the personal effects found in the car They also found the address of Rideau Cottage, one of the residences of Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada.. That’s why they also accused him in the trial of attempting to attack Trudeau’s life. Grantham even considered committing a massacre at Simon Fraser University or the Lions Gate Bridge. The defendant repented at the trial, but he admitted it “having done something so horrible, apologizing sounds pointless”.

The 24-year-old actor has been in the hands of the police for two and a half years. At the trial, his attorneys claimed that he suffered from anxiety, clinical depression, and suicidal thoughts. Grantham received mental health aid from him during that time. He was charged with first degree murder, but was eventually sentenced to life in prison for second degree murder.and will have to wait 14 years before being able to apply for parole.
