Sentencing arguments for an Edmonton man convicted of murdering his girlfriend will be heard in January.
Dana Turner, who was 31, was killed in Edmonton in August 2011 and her body was found near Innisfail almost two months later.
Mark Lindsay, who is 29 and the son of former Edmonton police chief Mark Lindsay, was found guilty of second-degree murder and obstruction in May.
His lawyer argued unsuccessfully that he shouldn't be held criminally responsible because he is schizophrenic.
A conviction of second-degree murder comes with an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for at least 10 years.
The Crown and defence will give arguments on Jan. 5 on how long Lindsay's parole eligibility should be.
