Prosecutors in Nova Scotia want a Canadian who was convicted of murder in New York to be returned to the province to face two more murder charges.

Glen Douglas Race, 27, was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder in the death of Darcy Manor in Mooers, N.Y., in May 2007.

He faces a minimum 25-year prison term and is expected to be sentenced Dec. 9 in Plattsburgh.

In Nova Scotia, Race is charged with murdering Trevor Brewster and Michael Paul Knott, two men found dead just days before Manor was killed.

Chris Hansen, spokeswoman for the Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service, said prosecutors are applying to the federal government to get Race extradited to Canada.

"We think when someone is charged with first-degree murder, he should have to face those charges," she said.

Hansen didn't say when Race could appear in Halifax. She described the extradition application process as lengthy.

Knott's body was found in the woods near Hubbards, N.S., on May 5, 2007. Two days later, Brewster's body was discovered under a boardwalk in Dartmouth.

Both had been missing for days.

Prosecutors allege that Race killed Brewster and Knott, then fled in Brewster's car to upstate New York.

Manor, a father of two, was found shot to death on May 10, 2007, at a hunting camp in Mooers.

Race was arrested five days later near the U.S.-Mexico border in Brownsville, Tex.

'Clean verdict'

Besides the murder conviction, the judge in Plattsburgh found Race guilty of one count of burglary and three counts of grand larceny.

Clinton County district attorney Andrew Wylie said the theft of Manor's gun and a vehicle, as well as an apparent attempt to escape to Mexico, made for a clear verdict.

"It's absolutely the right verdict by the judge," he said from Plattsburgh. "I don't see how in any means that this verdict was anything but a true and clean verdict by the court."

There were more than 40 witnesses and 200 pieces of evidence at the trial, he said.

The defence called only one witness.
