VANDERHOOF, B.C. — Second degree murder charges have been laid against two people in Vanderhoof, B.C.

Twenty-nine-year-old Blaine Albert Barfoot and 40-year-old Tara Lee Ann Williams were found dead in a Vanderhoof-area mobile home on January 13, 2013.

Investigators have not said how they died, but at the time, police reported the victims were living a high risk lifestyle and were known to police.

Tyreman says charges were laid over the weekend against 21-year-old Vanderhoof resident Shaun Keith Goodwin;

A 20-year-old man who was 17 at the time of the offence has also been charged but because of his age, he cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
