CALGARY – A man accused in the 2009 murder of a Calgary woman has pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
Christopher Dunlop was arrested in connection to the death of 38-year-old mother Laura Furlan in 2012.
He was scheduled to stand trial on a charge of first-degree murder starting next week, but entered a guilty plea to the lesser charge of manslaughter in court on Thursday.
Furlan was reported missing by her family on Aug. 31, 2009. One week later, her body was found in Fish Creek Park by a man walking his dog.
At the time of her death, Furlan had reportedly been working in the sex trade after losing her job as an administrative assistant. Police said her DNA was found inside Dunlop’s truck.
Dunlop also plead guilty to committing an indignity to a human body.
