“The laying of a charge does not dilute the loss and pain endured by Trina’s family and friends,” Sgt. Freda Fong of (the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team) IHIT said. “There is still a long road ahead as the community continues to heal from her tragic death.”

Global News has confirmed that Iain Hunt has been released from custody. He is expected to appear in court on March 5.

When asked about the charges laid against Iain, his father, Dennis, told Global News that his son is “absolutely” innocent and said “he’s not involved with this.”

Fong said IHIT is still open to the possibility of further charges being laid in the case.

She said she could not comment on how Trina died or the exact date of her death.

The alleged offence is thought to have happened on Jan. 16, 2021. Iain did not report Trina missing until Jan. 18, 2021 – two days later.

Fong said she could confirm this information but could not comment further.
