A Manitoba judge sentenced Kevin Queau to 12 years in prison on Friday for the cold case killing of 24-year-old Crystal Saunders in April 2007.
Queau was initially charged with second-degree murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter last week as part of a plea bargain.
Crown prosecutors dropped the second-degree murder charge due to concerns over the credibility of one of the undercover officers involved in the case, the court heard.
As part of a joint recommendation between the Crown and the defence, Queau was sentenced to 12 years in prison, with credit of 791 days served in custody pre-sentence. He was also handed a lifetime firearms prohibition.
