CALGARY — The lawyer for a man accused of killing a Calgary woman and her toddler says he’s eager to get the case moving through the courts. Robert Leeming is charged with second-degree murder in the deaths of Jasmine Lovett, who was 25, and her 22-month-old daughter, Aliyah Sanderson. The pair’s remains were found in the Rocky Mountain wilderness west of Calgary earlier this month, two weeks after they were reported missing. His lawyer, Balfour Der, says he would like to get a date set for a preliminary hearing for early next year. Der said the defence is still waiting for disclosure — police statements, witness statements and forensic reports — from the prosecution.
