Edward Downey sentencing today
CALGARY – A sentencing hearing is to begin today for a Calgary man convicted of killing a woman and her young daughter.
A jury found Edward Downey guilty last year of first-degree murder in the 2016 deaths of Sara Baillie and five-year-old Taliyah Marsman.
The Crown told the trial that Downey believed Baillie had influenced her best friend to break up with him and that Baillie had convinced that friend to refuse working for him as an escort.
The prosecution further argued that Baillie’s daughter was a witness who needed silencing.
