Stone’s burned body was found in July 2010 in a wooded area near Duncan. Jones’ remains were found in January 2011 near Duncan’s Shaker Church Cemetery.
Police say Elliott confessed in what’s known as a “Mr. Big” sting operation. Sentencing was delayed until a Gladue report could be completed, which guides judges in the sentencing of Aboriginal offenders.
Elliott is expected to learn his fate on Friday.
