RCMP appealing for tips to solve Princeton homicide

PRINCETON — the BC RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit is leading the investigation into the discovery of a man’s body in a rural area near Princeton this week.

In a news release, RCMP have identified Joshua James Bronk, a resident of the Princeton area, as the victim of foul play.

While investigators believe his death came as a result of a criminal act, they believe the incident was isolated and don’t believe there is an ongoing threat to members of the community.

Police are hoping to piece together the activities of Bronk from October 20 at 7 a.m. until the noon hour of October 28, the day his body was discovered. Anyone who came into contact with Bronk over that period of time is asked to call the BC RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit Tip Line at 1-877-987-8477.
