KELOWNA, B.C. — RCMP have confirmed the death of a man in Kelowna this week was a homicide, but it’s not known if any charges will result from the incident.

The unidentified man’s body was found in a home in the 600 block of Bechard Road on the morning of Monday, Oct. 18. A woman was arrested at the scene in connection with the investigation.

RCMP say the suspect, a 54-year-old woman from Kelowna, was released without charge the next day. The woman was subsequently apprehended under the Mental Health Act.

The Kelowna RCMP Serious Crimes Unit have submitted their initial investigative findings to the B.C. Prosecution Service for review and charge approval.

“This was an isolated incident and the RCMP are not seeking any additional suspects. Neither the victim nor suspect were known to police prior to this incident,” said Supt. Kara Triance, Office in Charge of the Kelowna Regional Detachment. “Our thoughts are with the victim’s family, and all those impacted by this tragic situation.”
