— The lawyer for a man who was charged after police issued a warning to the public and female sex workers in British Columbia’s Okanagan region says her client’s case was put over to next month in court on Thursday. Defence lawyer Lisa Jean Helps says her client’s next court appearance in Vernon is scheduled for Nov. 23. The charges were laid after the RCMP warned of a “possible risk to the general public and women sex workers” in the area of Salmon River Road near Salmon Arm after a male suspect allegedly threatened a woman with a firearm. The RCMP are searching a rural 10-hectare property on Salmon River Road after human remains were found. The Mounties have not linked the property search with any ongoing investigation or with the public warning they issued earlier this month after the alleged incident on Aug. 28.
