A British Columbia Supreme Court jury has found Ibrahim Ali guilty of first-degree murder for the death of a 13-year-old girl whose body was found in a Burnaby park in July 2017.

The jury came back with its verdict minutes after the judge responded to their earlier request for clarification on the differences between first- and second-degree murder and manslaughter.
