Khouri Green enters surprise guilty plea for 2nd-degree murder of Colin Hill
Green was in court to fix a date for his next appearance when he entered an unexpected guilty plea
A man charged with murdering a Surrey real estate agent made a surprise guilty plea in B.C. Supreme Court yesterday.
On Thursday 22-year-old Khouri Lamar Green was in court to fix a date for his next appearance.
Instead Green pleaded guilty to a charge of second-degree murder in the death of Colin Hill.
Green is expected to be sentenced early next year.
Hill was shot on July 12, 2015 in his own home.
Police reports said he was trying to prevent a break-in at 165 Street and 64th Ave. in Surrey B.C.
On social media Hill's wife Becky Zhou described how her 42-year-old husband tried to hold the door closed against the intruder while shouting to his wife and two children to hide.
"He's a hero in everybody's eyes," said friend Mike Marfori. "That type of person that would take his own life for anybody."
The shooting death sparked community furore, fuelled further by the accused man's profile on social media.
Details about Green later emerged on social media, revealing that the accused was a wannabe rapper with a long criminal history who posed in Instagram with a pistol in his hand.
