A man currently in custody awaiting trial for the murder of a Vernon senior, is now charged with killing another man. 45 year old Eric Norman Fish has been charged with the first degree murder of 60 year old Jeffrey Drake. Drake's decomposed body was found on the side of Adventure Bay Road (near Vernon) in August, 2004. The cause of death and motive are not being released by the police, other than it was drug-related.
RCMP Corporal Henry Proce told a news conference, police are investigating evidence that Fish had an accomplice in the homicide. "There's a storng likelihood there may have been an accomplice. This is one of the reasons the laying of this charge is delayed somewhat, but we have not gathered sufficient evidence to lay a charge." However, Proce stresses the suspected accomplice is not a risk to the community but didn't elaborate.
Fish is also charged with the first degree murder of 75 year William Abramenko, which occurred around the same time. Fish was on day parole at the time of the two crimes after walking away from his Vernon halfway house, the former Howard House. He will return to court in October for the Abramenko murder.
