The jury deliberated for about nine hours before reaching the verdicts Friday night.

During the trial jurors heard from police witnesses who testified that a dive team recovered a saw, a cleaver, knives and white tape from a pond on the Star Blanket First Nation.

The court heard the tape was found around Lee’s mouth, wrists and ankles.

His remains were discovered buried in garbage bags and a hockey bag.
