The Canadian Press, 15 Jan, 2018 11:54 AM

HOPE, B.C. — Police in British Columbia say three men have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of an Alberta resident.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 20-year-old Michael Bonin's body was found on a rural forest service road north of Hope on April 20, 2017.

Cpl. Frank Jang of IHIT says in a statement that Bonin was from Rycroft, Alta.

Jang says he can't provide specifics about motive, but the crime was not random.

He says the three men facing murder charges are all in their 20s.

Ryan Watt, Joshua Fleurant and Jared Jorgenson were scheduled to appear in provincial court on Monday.
