Guilty verdicts for two accused in Leanne Freeman murder case

TORONTO, Ont. – Jurors in Toronto have found two men guilty of murdering a woman who came to the city from Winnipeg.

The body of 23-year-old Leanne Freeman was found in Toronto’s Port Lands area in November of 2011. She’d been shot five times.

Jonathan Ash and Robert Beauregard were arrested two weeks later, and on Saturday both were found guilty of second-degree murder.

The jury took four days to reach its verdict.

A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.

During the trial, the court was told that Ash, Beauregard and Freeman all used the drug crystal meth.
