PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George Mounties have made an arrest in relation to a homicide that occurred in Prince George last year.
Mounties say 55-year-old Clarence Lee Engstrom was arrested on Friday. Police allege Engstrom was responsible for the death of Lydia McFarlane on July 17, 2023 at her home on the 1500-block of Victoria Street.
Police say the Serious Crime Unit was called in and Engstrom was identified as a suspect.
“The Serious Crime Unit and other specialized police services have been working on this investigation since the outset in order to see this matter brought before the courts. Sufficient evidence was obtained to allow Crown Counsel to approve the charge of second-degree murder,” states Staff Sergeant Aaron Whitehouse, commander of the Serious Crime Unit.
