Suspect in Bailey McCourt Killing Charged with Breaching No-Contact Order
The BC Prosecution Service says the alleged breach occurred on Sept. 24, and Plover was charged on April 30.
- James Plover, in custody for the first-degree murder of his estranged wife Bailey McCourt, faces a new charge of failing to comply with a no-contact order; the alleged breach occurred on September 24, 2025, in Pitt Meadows.
- Plover was initially charged with second-degree murder after fatally attacking McCourt in a Kelowna parking lot on July 4, 2025, before authorities upgraded the charge to first-degree murder.
- After the no-contact order charge was laid on April 30, Plover appeared at the Judicial Case Manager's office on Wednesday to schedule future court proceedings.
- McCourt's family campaigned for legislative reform following her death, leading to Bill C-225, also known as Bailey's Law, receiving royal assent on June 17.
- The murder trial for Plover is expected to begin in September and continue for about two months, with proceedings running parallel to the no-contact order breach case.
