Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 19 Oct, 2023 09:43 AM
  • Overdose homicide in Nanaimo

Mounties in Nanaimo say they're investigating the fatal drug overdose of a woman back in March that they now believe was a homicide. 

The Nanaimo R-C-M-P says its serious crime unit is looking into the death of 52-year-old Wendy Head, who was found dead at a home in the city on March 7th. 

Investigators say they've collected a lot of information since Head was found as they probe the death and the circumstances leading to it. 

Police say they believe there are people on Vancouver Island with information about the woman's death, and that anyone with information about the homicide should contact the Nanaimo R-C-M-P.
