The man charged in connection with the death of RCMP Const. Sarah Beckett is expected to appear in court today.
Kenneth Fenton is facing several charges, including impaired driving causing death, flight from police causing death, dangerous driving causing death, driving with a blood alcohol content in excess of 80 milligrams and refusing to provide a sample of his blood to police when he knew, or ought to have known, that driving his car caused an accident resulting in death.
On Wednesday, hundreds of people gathered for a service to remember Beckett, a 32-year-old mother of two, on the one-year anniversary of her death.
A probe is also underway by the Independent Investigations Office, which has forwarded a report to Crown counsel for consideration of charges against an RCMP officer who was chasing a vehicle that hit Beckett’s cruiser.
