Crown intends to seek adult sentence in 2007 stabbing death of Calgary woman

The Crown says it intends to seek an adult sentence if a man who was 16 at the time is convicted of killing a 37-year-old woman in Calgary's Ramsay neighbourhood in 2007.

The man, who is now 28 and in Edmonton,is charged with first-degree murder.

He can't be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because he was a youth at the time.

The man appeared in court on closed-circuit TV on Monday and the matter was adjourned until April 15.

Police say the accused was 16 when the body of Tara-Anne Landgraf was discovered by a passerby on Aug. 5, 2007.

Landgraf was foundnear the intersection of Burns Avenue and Alexander Street S.E. in the southeast neighbourhood of Ramsay.

Police say Landgraf was stabbed and sexually assaulted in what appeared to be a random attack.

Police say say unidentified male DNA was recovered at the scene and advances in forensic science helped investigators make an arrest.
