Man pleads guilty to killing woman in 2007
Stanton Viner, 52, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder one day before jury selection for his trial was to begin.
Kinch’s body was found in a field near Murray Avenue on the morning of July 15, 2007.
Viner told court this morning that he had killed Kinch by strangling her.
Sentencing has been set for June 3. Viner faces a minimum 10-year with no parole eligibility for 10 years.
Crown attorney Christina Kopynsky said the issue at sentencing, before Justice Colleen Suche, is when Viner will be eligible to apply for parole.
