Former BC Lions wide receiver Josh Boden could learn his sentence later this month after being convicted of the second-degree murder of his former girlfriend.

Boden, who turns 35 in December, was found guilty of the May 2009 slaying of 33 year old Kimberly Hallgarth, who was killed in her Burnaby home.

Police had considered Boden as a person of interest, but charges weren't laid until November 2018 when homicide detectives took another look at the cold case.

Boden played briefly for the Lions in 2007 but was cut in 2008 and moved to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, although he never played a regular season game for them before he was let go.
