The man who confessed to killing a Calgary mother has now also been convicted of murdering the woman's toddler.

On Monday, Court of Queen's Bench Justice Keith Yamauchi convicted Robert Leeming of second-degree murder in the death of 22-month-old Aliyah Sanderson.

Leeming had previously pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of
Jasmine Lovett in 2019, but not guilty in the death of Sanderson.

Yamauchi convicted Leeming in the death of Aliyah. The judge says Leeming was not a believable witness and there is no doubt that he caused the injuries which led to the girl's death.

A sentencing hearing will take place at a later date.
