CHILLIWACK (NEWS 1130) – Charges have been laid in connection with the killing of a woman in Chilliwack late last month.
Christine Denham, 42, was found shot inside a home on Victor Street near Yale Road in the afternoon of February 26.
She was taken to hospital, but died of her injuries a few days later.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 41-year-old Shane Travis Hughes was arrested and charged with second degree murder a week after Denham’s death.
They both knew each other.
“The work is not done for IHIT as investigators will be busy completing final disclosure packages for furtherance to Crown Counsel and victim services will continue to provide support for Ms. Denham’s family in the days ahead,” IHIT’s Corporal Frank Jang says.
Anyone with information relating to this investigation is asked to call IHIT at 1.877.551.IHIT (4448) or email investigators at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
