    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.

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