A man arrested in Tsay Keh Dene after an overnight standoff with police 53 weeks ago pleaded guilty April 15 to two counts of second-degree murder at BC Supreme Court in Prince George.
Justice Simon Coval adjourned the hearing for Orlan Marcel Dennis to July 28-29 for sentencing.
On April 9, 2024, RCMP officers were called to a home after a report of shots fired and injuries.
When officers arrived around 10:30 p.m., the man with a gun ran to another house. The North District Emergency Response Team arrived and negotiations failed. At 5:40 a.m. on April 10, 2024, Dennis was forced out by a chemical irritant and shot. He was treated in Prince George for non-life-threatening injuries.
Dennis was formally charged April 12, 2024 with two counts of second degree murder.
