    B.C. Man Convicted Again Of Killing 19-year-old Woman Found In Ditch In 1993

    The Canadian Press, 17 Jun, 2015 12:49 PM
    • B.C. Man Convicted Again Of Killing 19-year-old Woman Found In Ditch In 1993
    KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A man has been convicted of manslaughter for the second time, more than two decades after a 19-year-old woman was found dead in a ditch following a party in Kelowna, B.C.
     
    A jury began deliberating in Kamloops on Tuesday morning and found Neil Snelson guilty the same night.
     
    He successfully appealed a 2011 guilty verdict when B.C.'s highest court found the Crown could not enter a question from police about his plea as evidence.
     
    Jennifer Cusworth was strangled and struck on the head repeatedly before her body was found in 1993, and an investigation led to Snelson being charged in 2009.
     
    After the verdict on Tuesday, Cusworth's father said he is not hoping for a specific sentence for Snelson, but instead believes he will receive "spiritual justice."
     
    A date for a sentencing hearing has not been set. (Kamloops This Week)
