A father and son have pleaded guilty to attempted murder in relation to a "brutal attack" on a woman on a remote logging road late last year.
James Stanley Filiatraut, 53, and William Thomas Filiatraut, 21, entered the pleas Wednesday in Prince George provincial court during a pre-trial conference.
The counts stem from a Nov. 5, 2016 incident, when received two reports at about 11 p.m. of a person in distress on Highway 16 about 50 kilometres east of the city.
Police and paramedics arrive to find the woman being helped by a passing driver. She was transported to hospital for treatment of severe, life-threatening injuries, from what RCMP called a "brutal attack."
"Initial indications were that the victim had been driven down a remote forest service road where she was brutally attacked, before escaping and walking out approximately seven kilometres to the highway," RCMP said at the time.
Pre-sentence reports were ordered as part of the sentencing process.
