Man Charged with Murder in Kelowna Woman’s Death

KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, JUL 6 – James Plover faces second-degree murder charges after assaulting two women amid family law disputes and foreclosure pressures, with one victim deceased and the other seriously injured.

  • James Edward Plover, former partner of Bailey McCourt, faces a second-degree murder charge after her death from an assault on July 4 near Enterprise Way and Spall Road in Kelowna.
