Retiree was the victim of mail bomb blast in Port Alice: neighbour
PORT ALICE, B.C. — A retired pulp mill worker has been identified as the victim of a mail bomb attack in the tiny village of Port Alice on Vancouver Island.
The Mounties say they are investigating a targeted blast that went off when the victim opened a mail package at a home on Tuesday.
Cathy Anderson said Thursday her neighbour Roger Nepper, who has lived in Port Alice for more than 30 years, was injured in the explosion.
She said her husband saw Nepper holding an injured hand when he climbed into a neighbour’s vehicle to be taken to the local health clinic.
