Crown's key witness testifies at Naramata gangland murder trial
Witness A said the killing stemmed from a drug-fueled hunt for two men linked to a previous double murder, with a 55-month sentence tied to the witness deal.
- On Monday, a Witness testified about driving Ekene Anigbo and Jalen Falk to Kathleen Richardson's Naramata home on June 9, 2021, where they allegedly killed the 57-year-old woman.
- Prosecutors allege the murder was part of a wider conspiracy to exact retribution for the deaths of Carlo Fryer and Erick Fryer, with the hunt for suspects Wade Cudmore and Anthony Graham organized by Red Scorpion gangster Kyle Latimer.
- Returning panicked from Richardson's home, Anigbo and Falk burned their clothes at a Penticton property on Green Mountain Road after the 57-year-old woman was restrained and shot, the Witness testified.
- Ekene Anigbo faces a first-degree murder charge in the Kelowna Supreme Court trial, which began in early March, while co-conspirator Jalen Falk pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a life sentence in February.
- Amid heightened security, the Witness, who struck a "limited immunity agreement" with The Crown, testified Monday; the trial for the 57-year-old Richardson's death is expected to continue through June.
