Anahim Lake, B.C. – The double homicide at Anahim Lake on Boxing Day will be the focus of a media conference tentatively scheduled for tomorrow morning.

“The Ulkatcho and Nuxalk Nations are deepy saddened by the tragic events which took place in the Anahim Lake community on Boxing Day. Chief and Council from both communities express their heartfelt condolences to the families of the bereaved and offer prayers of strength to the community as a whole coping with this tragedy,” stated a release from the First Nations Health Authority.
