MAPLE RIDGE — A change of second-degree murder has been laid nearly six years after a body was found in Maple Ridge, B.C.

A statement from the province’s homicide investigation team says the body of 24-year-old Edi Bogere was found in a vacant forested property on Jan. 11, 2020, and his death was ruled suspicious.

Police say Bogere was last seen leaving his Coquitlam home on the evening of Dec. 27, 2019.

Thirty-one-year-old Alan Mohammed Taheri of Port Coquitlam was arrested Friday.

The statement says prosecutors approved one count of second-degree murder with a firearm and one count of indignity to human remains against the man.
