A man accused of fatally stabbing a newborn in the heart has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. Rodney Miller entered the plea today after the Crown finished its closing arguments. The 28-year-old man's defence lawyer conceded that his client killed the baby boy, but had argued it was second-degree murder.
Miller and his girlfriend, 20-year old Sarah Russell were arrested Jan. 29 on suspicion they had concealed the birth of a baby boy. Russell is charged with manslaughter but her case has yet to be heard. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 16.
