A jury has found a 21-year-old man guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Montreal teenager Jannai Dopwell-Bailey outside his school in 2021.
Jurors delivered the verdict in the trial of Andrei Donet on Sunday at the Montreal courthouse, CTV News confirmed.
He was charged just over a month after the Oct. 18, 2021 killing of 16-year-old Dopwell-Bailey. Police said at the time that he was stabbed at around 3 p.m. outside Programme Mile End in the Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood and then ran back inside the school to seek help.
He later died of his injuries.
Donet will return to court on May 30 and 31 for a sentencing hearing to determine his parole eligibility. The minimum for second-degree murder is 10 years. The jury has already recommended the offender serve 12 years before being eligible for parole.
The victim's mother, Charla Dopwell, said she hopes the court sets a "firm and tough" time limit on when he will get parole.
