LOGAN LAKE, B.C. — A 66-year-old British Columbia man has been charged with second-degree murder following an incident in a southern Interior community.

A 55-year-old Logan Lake man was found unresponsive in one of the rooms and could not be revived.

The victim's name and cause of death have not been released.

Moskaluk says the men were known to each other.

Fleming remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in provincial court in Kamloops.
