HALIFAX – Steven Elliot Laffin has pleaded guilty to the murder of a Halifax-area sex worker in 2010.
Laffin pleaded guilty in Nova Scotia Supreme Court on Thursday to a second-degree murder charge, in the death of 29-year-old Nadine Anne Taylor.
He was automatically sentenced to life in prison. A parole eligibility hearing will be held on April 25.
Taylor was reported missing on July 31, 2010, days after she left an apartment to use a payphone to call a friend.
Laffin was charged with her murder in October of that year.
On Friday, Laffin led police investigators to human remains buried in a wooded area off Inletview Drive, in East Chezzetcook.
The remains have not been officially identified, but it is believed they are the remains of Taylor.
