The Dunn family had long questioned why Mann, who has a long criminal history, was out on bail while facing aggravated assault charges.
Police responded to a call around 10 p.m. on June 16, 2024, from the Port Kells residence that Dunn, 30, shared with her boyfriend. They found Dunn suffering from life-threatening injuries. She had been stabbed four times, and was found with defensive wounds on her hands and an 18-centimetre deep gash in her abdomen. She later died in hospital. Mann’s DNA was found on a knife that also had Dunn’s blood on it, and he was arrested near the scene.
He was charged with one count of second-degree murder two weeks later and has remained in custody since then.

A jury found Mann guilty in a New Westminster courtroom on Wednesday, a verdict that comes with an automatic sentence of life in prison. His eligibility for parole could fall anywhere from 10 to 25 years and will be determined by the trial judge David M. Layton. A date for sentencing will be scheduled on Oct. 29.
Mann, who said he was homeless, living on the streets and was a habitual drug user, had a criminal history that included convictions for robbery, weapons offences and parole violations.
