Second-Degree Murder Charge Laid After Fatal Assault in Kelowna Friday
KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 5 – James Edward Plover faces second-degree murder and weapons charges after a July 4 assault that killed one woman and seriously injured another, police said.
- Robert Belbin, appearing in court this morning in St. John's, failed to have second-degree murder and serious gun charges dismissed at his pre-trial hearing.
- Robert Belbin's lawyer filed a Jordan application alleging rights breaches due to trial delays, but the judge ruled delays weren't solely the Crown's fault, so the case proceeds.
- Court records detail Belbin's history of shootings, a stabbing conviction, and the alleged killing of Seamus Secord in St. John's over three years.
- Belbin remains in custody with remand time accumulating ahead of his fall 2025 trial scheduled in St. John's.
- In Kelowna, the BC Prosecution Service approved a second-degree murder charge against James Edward Plover on July 5, with a court appearance scheduled for July 10.
