Sgt. Jennifer Pound with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team confirmed McQuarrie was arrested July 4 on the outstanding warrants. Police are also recommending a charge of first degree murder in connection with Quesnelle’s death, but this has not yet been approved.

He was apprehended from a garage in the 3700 block of 260 Street in Langley. Sgt. Pound confirmed the people living in the home are not associated with McQuarrie. She said Air One and the Emergency Response Team were involved in the arrest.
