FORT NELSON, B.C. — A 22-year-old man from northeastern British Columbia has been charged with second-degree murder.

RCMP Cpl. Dave Tyreman says in a news release that police were called to a residence in Fort Nelson Wednesday for reports of a serious assault.

He says the 30-year-old victim was rushed to hospital but died of injuries.

Joshua Dillion has been charged with second-degree murder, remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 9.

Tyreman says police can't release further details, including the gender of the victim, because of a publication ban.

About 4,000 people live in the community about 950 kilometres southeast of Whitehorse, Yukon.
