A second-degree murder charge has been laid against a B.C. man in connection with the 2018 homicide of 31-year-old Rodney Clement in Quesnel.
According to B.C. RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Kris Clark, Clement was dropped off at G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital in Quesnel on Nov. 8, 2018, suffering from significant injuries. He died as a result of his injuries, and investigators determined his death was the result of foul play.

“For nearly eight years, our investigators have remained committed to seeking answers in Rodney Clement’s death,” said Supt. Bal Hansra, acting officer in charge of the B.C. RCMP’s major crime division. “This charge reflects the dedication and perseverance of those involved in the investigation and our ongoing commitment to pursuing justice for victims and their loved ones.”
