RCMP announce murder charge in 2021 slaying of 52-year-old man in small B.C. town

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 10 Mar, 2025 10:08 AM

Mounties in B.C. say a 64-year-old Vancouver man has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of a man in 70 Mile House in December 2021.

B.C. RCMP say 52-year-old The-Thanh (Ted) Nguyen was found unresponsive at a home in the small community on Dec. 26, 2021 and efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.

Police say Nguyen died at the scene after being found outside an outbuilding on a property on Komori Road, and a suspect was later arrested in the community of Clinton, B.C., about 30 kilometres south of 70 Mile House in the province's Cariboo region.

Mounties say the man was released by police the day after Nguyen was found without charge, but a second-degree murder charge has now been approved and the 64-year-old suspect was arrested Friday.

Staff Sgt. Jason Smart with the Southeast District Major Crime Unit says the charge was approved after "tireless" investigative efforts.
