NANAIMO – A man has been charged with second-degree murder and indignity to human remains in the death of a 65-year-old woman on Vancouver Island.
Nanaimo RCMP say Cameron Compton was arrested Monday after a months-long investigation.
The investigation began in late 2025 after police received a report that Sherry Shelley was missing.
Her body was found after a vehicle fire, triggering the homicide investigation.
Police have not released additional details surrounding the case.
The accused is in police custody and scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 21, 2026.
