WILLIAMS LAKE — Human remains have been discovered just west of Williams Lake.

North District RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson says a fisherman made the discovery yesterday in the river near the Sheep Creek Bridge.

The Williams Lake RCMP says it is now reviewing all missing persons files, along with the BC Coroners Service, in a bid to confirm the identity.

Earlier this month, two men in Williams Lake were charged with attempted murder and kidnapping.

Before those charges were laid, RCMP released information on a missing person in relation to these incidents — Branton Regner.
