Judge denies bail for man accused in Tyler Myers murder

The man charged with first-degree murder in the 2008 death of Tyler Myers will not be allowed out on bail pending his trial

The man charged with first-degree murder in the 2008 death of Tyler Myers will not be allowed out on bail pending his trial.

The man, now 20, was under the age of 18 at the time the offence was committed; therefore he cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

His next court appearance in Salmon Arm is set for Feb. 19.

A 21-year-old woman was also charged with first-degree murder in the case. She was also under age at the time of the offence and, as such, her name cannot be published. She has not yet had a bail hearing and her next court date is set for Feb. 5.

Myers, who was 22 at the time of his death, was found in the wooded grounds of Bastion Elementary on Nov. 21, 2008 where he died of a gunshot wound.

In addition to the two individuals charged with murder, RCMP investigators arrested a 21-year-old man from Salmon Arm on Nov. 22, 2012. He is facing charges of obstruction of justice. His name has also not been released.
