Prince George RCMP have made an arrest in connection with the death of a woman last year.
Lydia McFarlane died in July 2023. On Friday, Oct. 19, the Crown issued a warrant for the arrest of Clarence Lee Engstrom, 55, of Prince George. He was arrested by the Serious Crime Unit the same day.
McFarlane’s body was discovered on July 17, 2023 in her residence on the 1500 block of Victoria Street. Police soon determined Engstrom was a suspect.
Engstrom is charged with second-degree murder.
"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," stated Staff Sgt. Aaron Whitehouse, commander of the Serious Crime Unit.
Engstrom is in custody.
