Jurors have found a Quebec man guilty of first-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old junior college student Guylaine Potvin in 2000.

The trial of Marc-André Grenon took place in Saguenay, Que., and the jury’s verdict was delivered Tuesday at 5 p.m., after less than three hours of deliberation.

Grenon, 49, was also found guilty of the aggravated sexual assault of Potvin in her basement apartment in April 2000 in Jonquière, Que., now a part of Saguenay, some 215 kilometres north of Quebec City.
