KELOWNA, B.C.–Murder charges have been laid as RCMP investigate the discovery of three bodies in a home in Kelowna, B.C..
Court documents show Jacob Forman, who is in his 30s, appeared in court yesterday and was scheduled to make another appearance today.
He is charged with three counts of murder, with the documents saying the killings occurred Dec. 17.
Kelowna RCMP have not commented on the charges but have confirmed they are investigating the suspicious deaths of three people and have a man in custody.
Cst. Lesley Smith said the bodies were found Dec. 19 at a duplex on Bolotzky Court in Kelowna’s Rutland neighbourhood, but declined to release the names, ages, or genders of the victims.
She also would not say whether the deceased individuals were related to one another or describe their relationship to the man in custody.
Jeff McLeod, a resident of Bolotzky Court since 1994, said he believed a man, woman, and two children lived in the home, which still was behind police tape.
“They hadn’t been there very long, maybe a year or less,” McLeod noted. “They pretty much stuck to their own.
“Never attracted attention so I never paid them that much attention.”
