Help needed to solve BC cold case

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Aug, 2024 03:29 PM

Mounties in West Kelowna are appealing to the public for new information that could help solve a double homicide in Peachland 20 years ago.

Police say Dean Desimone and an unknown male suspect entered a home and got into a shootout with an occupant, Anthony Gorkoff, in April 2004.

Desimone and Gorkoff were killed in shootout.

The Mounties say they're still investigating the incident and they believe members of the public have critical information that could lead to the identification of the unknown man who was involved that night.
