Search for missing B.C. woman prompts homicide fears

Share On

Police are releasing more details about a British Columbia woman they fear may be the victim of a homicide.

Metro Vancouver's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 45 year old April Parisian was last heard from on March 28 and was declared missing earlier this month.

The resident of the Fraser Canyon community of Spuzzum owned a red, 1998 Chevrolet pickup with a camper and may have been with her boyfriend, Paris Margesson, and her brown pug dog.

On April 16, police appealed for help and received a tip just hours later that the camper was in the Abbotsford area.

Officers tried to speak to a man in the camper but he suffered a self-inflicted wound and died a short time later.

Parisian is still missing and the homicide team says it is creating a timeline of her movements and wants to speak with anyone who saw her, her boyfriend, dog or camper between March 28 and mid April.

The fate of more than 300 ostriches in British Columbia’s southern Interior could be decided within days, as the Supreme Court of Canada prepares to rule on whether it will hear a final appeal from Universal Ostrich Farms. The Edgewood-based operation has spent nearly a year fighting a Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) order to cull its flock following an avian influenza outbreak last December. The farm has already lost two earlier legal battles in Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal. In September, the Supreme Court temporarily halted the cull while it considered whether to he

Punjab and Haryana High Court hears heated arguments on Bikram Singh Majithia’s bail plea

A heated exchange took place in the Punjab and Haryana High Court today during the hearing of former minister Bikram Singh Majithia’s bail petition. The Punjab Advocate General, appearing for the state government, sought two days’ time to file a response, but the court made it clear that the matter would be heard the same day. Majithia’s counsel argued that since the charge sheet has already been filed, there was no justification for the government to continue opposing bail. The defence pointed out that the Supreme Court had earlier dismissed an investigation report in a related NDPS mat
