A jury has found Ibrahim Ali guilty of killing a 13-year-old girl whose body was found in a Burnaby, B.C., park in 2017.
Friday's decision comes less than 24 hours after the jury began deliberations.
The trial lasted for eight months and Ali's lawyers did not introduce any evidence or call any witnesses, instead arguing that the Crown had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Crown told the court that Ali sexually assaulted the girl before strangling her to death.
Ali was convicted of first-degree murder, a charge that carries an automatic sentence of life in prison with no eligibility for parole for 25 years.
The girl cannot be named due to a publication ban.
