A sentencing hearing is to begin today for a Calgary man convicted of killing a woman and her young daughter. A jury found Edward Downey guilty last year of first-degree murder in the 2016 deaths of Sara Baillie and five-year-old Taliyah Marsman.
Lauren Krugel, The Canadian PressCALGARY -- A sentencing hearing is to begin today for a Calgary man convicted of killing a woman and her young daughter.
The Crown told the trial that Downey believed Baillie had influenced her best friend to break up with him and Baillie had refused to work for him as an escort.Downey repeatedly denied the killings in his testimony, and his lawyers argued someone else was responsible. The trial heard Baillie, 34, was found dead in a laundry hamper in her daughter's closet with duct tape wrapped around her face, neck and wrists. Taliyah was missing.Both died by asphyxiation.
Downey told court that before he left, the man identified as Terrance argued with Baillie and asked for tape. Downey said he ripped some off a roll the friend tossed to him, but didn't think much of the request.
