Chilliwack – A Chilliwack man has been arrested and charged with second degree murder in connection with the homicide of Christine Denham.
On February 26, Chilliwack RCMP responded to a residence in the 9400-block of Victor Street and found 42-year-old Christine Denham inside the home with a gunshot wound. She was taken to hospital and died on March 1.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the file and determined early on that this was not a random act.
In the ensuing days, IHIT and its partners diligently followed the evidence trail and presented their case to the B.C. Prosecution Service for charge approval consideration.
On March 8, 41-year-old Shane Travis Hughes was arrested and charged with second degree murder for Christine Denham’s death. The two were known to each other.
