  • Man charged in Vancouver Island homicide

Mounties on Vancouver Island say a man has been charged with murder after another man was found dead over the weekend.

R-C-M-P say officers from the Lake Cowichan detachment were called to a home at the Ditidaht First Nation Saturday morning. 

They say officers found a man's body and called members of the Emergency Response Team, who arrested a suspect without incident.

Police say the man has since been charged with first-degree murder and he's set to appear in court next Tuesday.
