Court Documents Show Three Murder Charges Laid Following Deaths In Kelowna, B.C.

The Canadian Press, 21 Dec, 2017 01:01 PM
    KELOWNA, B.C. — Murder charges have been laid as RCMP investigate the discovery of three bodies in a home in Kelowna, B.C..
     
     
    Court documents show Jacob Forman, who is in his 30s, appeared in court Wednesday and is scheduled to make another appearance Thursday.
     
     
    He is charged with three counts of murder and the documents say the killings occurred Dec. 17.
     
     
    Kelowna RCMP have not commented on the charges, but have confirmed they are investigating the suspicious deaths of three people and have a man in custody.
     
     
    Const. Lesley Smith said the bodies were found Dec. 19, at a duplex on Bolotzky Cr., in Kelowna's Rutland neighbourhood, but declined to release the names, ages or genders of the victims.
     
     
    She also would not say whether the deceased individuals were related to one another or describe their relationship to the man in custody.
     
     
    Jeff McLeod, a resident of Bolotzky Court since 1994, said he believed a man, woman, and two children lived in the home, which was still behind police tape.
     
     
    "They hadn't been there very long, maybe a year or less," McLeod said. "They pretty much stuck to their own. Never attracted attention, so I never paid them that much attention."
     
     
    "You'd see two girls, maybe about six or seven, playing outside once in awhile, that's about it," McLeod said.
     
     
    There had never been any police cars or ambulances at the home before Tuesday evening, McLeod said.
     
     
    "This is a very quiet neighbourhood," he said. "It's pretty shocking, what's happened."
     
     
    Smith has described the event as an "isolated incident."
