    CALGARY — A man suspected of killing a Calgary woman and her toddler daughter has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder.

     

    Robert Andrew Leeming, 34, appeared via video before a justice of the peace.


    Calgary police announced Monday that they had found remains believed to be those of Jasmine Lovett and 22-month-old Aliyah Sanderson.


    The bodies were discovered before dawn in a heavily wooded wilderness area in the Rocky Mountains west of Calgary.


    Police have said Lovett and Leeming were in a relationship that deteriorated, and that the motive was domestic in nature.


    Leeming, who is from the United Kingdom, has his next court appearance May 14.
