Charges laid in Creston homicide
On February 6, 2022, Creston RCMP was contacted after a 56-year-old woman was found in her residence deceased.
Based on the totality of the information, the investigation evolved from a sudden death investigation into a suspected homicide. Once that determination was made, the RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit (SED MCU) took conduct of the investigation.
The investigation continued to develop and on March 16, 63-year-old Creston resident, Mitchell McIntyre, was arrested.
“Although initially believed to be a natural death, investigators worked tirelessly on this matter, and have since determined it to be a homicide,” said Sgt. Chris Manseau of BC RCMP. “A suspect was later identified, and has since been arrested and charged.”
On March 16, the BC Prosecution Service charged Mitchell McIntyre with murder. McIntyre has been held in custody pending a future court date.
Given this matter is now before the court, no further information will be released at this time.
The victim will not be identified at this time.
