Former Canadian Football League player Josh Boden is accused of murder
VANCOUVER — A former wide receiver with the Canadian Football League’s B.C. Lions has made his first court appearance following a charge of second-degree murder more than nine years after a woman’s death.
Joshua Boden’s lawyer said outside provincial court Monday his client intends to plead not guilty in connection with the death of 33-year-old Kimberly Hallgarth, whose body was found in a Burnaby home in March 2009.
Police called her injuries suspicious.
Lawyer Kevin Westell would not comment on his client’s reaction to the charge coming so long after Hallgarth was discovered dead.
