Vancouver Police have arrested a suspect in the killing of Justis Daniel, the beloved caretaker of Tatlow Park who was found murdered in his west-side home last December.

"VPD homicide investigators have worked meticulously for more than three months to gather and analyze evidence obtained from the crime scene and beyond," says Inspector Dale Weidman, officer in charge of VPD’s Major Crime Section. "After a painstaking review of all evidence, investigators identified a 51-year-old suspect. He was arrested without incident Saturday afternoon and has since been charged with murder."

Daniel, 77, was discovered dead on December 10, 2021 inside his home on the grounds of Tatlow Park, near West 3rd Avenue and MacDonald Street. The long-time caretaker, who was also a well-known fixture in Kitsilano, had no known enemies. At the time of his killing there were no suspects and no known motive.

"This crime shocked the community and caused significant anxiety, in part because we could not immediately explain what happened or guarantee there was no on-going public safety risk," adds Inspector Weidman. "We hope this arrest begins to restore a sense of safety that some had lost, and that more answers will soon be given through the court process."

BC Prosecution Service has charged Brent Steven White with one count of second degree murder. He remains in custody.

B.C.'s 2024 deficit comes in under forecast at $7.3B

British Columbia's final deficit for the fiscal year has come in at $7.3 billion, $564 million lower than the original projected number in Budget 2024. The final deficit is also about $1.8 billion lower than the most recent third-quarter forecast. Finance Minister Brenda Bailey says B.C. was able to report a lower-than-projected deficit largely due to revenue from the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia. Total revenue was about $2.5 billion higher than expected in the budget. B.C.'s GDP grew by 1.2 per cent, lower than the Canadian average of 1.6 per cent. The taxpayer-supported debt-to-

Poilievre says of B.C. Premier Eby that 'one man can't block' pipeline proposal

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canadians, including British Columbians, want a new oil pipeline and Premier David Eby can't be allowed as one man to block the project. Poilievre says the country can't wait for complete agreement on the idea, calling it a "basic fact" that a new pipeline is needed. Eby has repeatedly said there's no point discussing or supporting a pipeline that is being pushed by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and others, until there is a proponent for such a project. Poilievre, speaking in Calgary, says that's a "chicken and egg problem," because the reason there's

Remains identified as missing Calgary man, police investigating death as homicide

Police have identified the remains of a Calgary man who disappeared 2 1/2 years ago and are investigating his death as a homicide. The remains were discovered in May 2024 at an undisclosed location outside Calgary. Robert Stanley Mainland was last seen in January 2023 at a 7-Eleven convenience store. He was 65 at the time of his disappearance and had lived in the same northeast Calgary neighbourhood for over 40 years. Police say they believe Mainland was the victim of foul play. They're asking members of the public to come forward with information to help with the investigation.
