It will be at least another week before a man found guilty of killing his mother back in 2014 learns his fate in court.
Brian Whitlock, who killed his mother in 2014, was in B.C. Supreme Court for a sentencing hearing Tuesday.
However, the case has been put over until Oct. 30.
Whitlock, 30, was found guilty in June of 2017.
