A Toronto neurosurgeon on trial for killing his physician wife has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on Monday.

Dr. Mohammed Shamji had been charged with first-degree murder and committing an indignity to human remains in the death of Dr. Elana Fric-Shamji, the mother of his three children.

Shamji entered the plea at a Toronto courthouse, days before jury selection was scheduled to begin Wednesday and the trial was slated to start Monday.
