A southern Alberta man who confessed to killing a father, a toddler and a senior has been found guilty of three courts of first-degree murder.
Derek Saretzky, who is 24, was charged in the September 2015 deaths of Terry Blanchette, Blanchette’s two-year-old daughter Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette and 69-year-old Hanne Meketech.
The jury took about three hours to reach its decision.
The killings occurred in the small close-knit region known as the Crowsnest Pass in southwestern Alberta.
The court heard videotaped confessions from Saretzky who told police he killed Meketech, a friend of his grandparents, on the spur of the moment.
