A 45 year old man and 40 year old woman, both from Vernon, were arrested on Friday without incident, and will appear in court today to face charges of second degree murder.
A dead man was found in an apartment unit in the 2900 block of 43rd Avenue on July 19, 2017.
Police determined his death to be a homicide, but have not released the cause of death or the victim’s name.
Mounties say the arrests were the result of an extensive, 15 month long, investigation by the detachment’s General Investigation Section.
“As this matter is now before the court, no further information is available for release,” says Cst. Kelly Brett.
