Guilty of second degree murder !
That was the verdict handed down yesterday (Thursday) in Quesnel in the Supreme Court trial of 53-year old Joseph Simpson.
He pleaded guilty to a charge of interference with a dead body at the start of the trial.
Simpson is due back in court on July 8th to set a date for sentencing.
He was charged in connection with the death of 33-year old Carmelita Abraham.
She was reported missing by her family back on January 4th of 2022.
Investigators determined that she had left Williams Lake for Quesnel about a week before that.
The North District Major Crimes Unit took over the investigation on January 10th and Simpson was arrested a few days later.
RCMP said at the time that the accused and the victim were known to each other.
