Three Okanagan homicides with PG connection see police lay second-degree murder charges

The BC Prosecution Service has confirmed Wayne Cudmore of Naramata has been slapped with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the May 2021 double-homicide of Erick and Carson Fryer.

Both brothers were found in a remote area near Naramata.

This led to a subsequent investigation where the RCMP attended a residence, just north of Penticton where they located the body of 57-year-old Kathleen Richardson on June 9th of 2021.

Police noted in April of 2023, 23-year-old Jalen Falk and Ekene Anigbo have each been charged with Richardson’s death and noted the deaths of Richardson, the Fryers as well as an incident in PG are all connected.

Saharam Tokhy of Coquitlam was charged with conspiracy to commit murder following a targeted shooting on Cook Crescent in PG during May of 2021.

In addition, a gun linked to the Tokhy matter was also recovered following a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 97, north of Quesnel three years ago.

A loaded handgun and an assault rifle in the ditch were located behind the SUV in question.
