Police are appealing to the public for more information about a murder in the McIntyre subdivision last spring.

Allan Waugh, 69, was found dead in his home on McCrimmon Crescent on May 30.

The investigation, which is still ongoing, determined his death was a homicide, Sgt. Mark London of the RCMP’s Major Crime Unit said this morning.

“Police believe there are still individuals within the community that have information that will assist investigators, but have not yet come forward,” stated a police news release sent out this morning.

“The family of Allan Waugh ask that those individuals search their heart and conscience.”

London said police have made no arrests.

He declined to comment on the details of Waugh’s death, citing the ongoing investigation.

Police held a meeting last June at the Kwanlin Dun First Nation’s Potlatch House, urging people with information to come forward.

“Through the investigation, from the outset, we’ve received information from the community and we just want to encourage those people or anybody else who has information to come forward and share it with us,” London said.

“I think it’s important to keep the general public aware of the fact that it’s an ongoing investigation ... so people can realize that it’s still important to us, it’s important to the family and it’s important to the community.”

RCMP and family members ask that anyone with information related to this investigation, or who may have witnessed any activity in the area of McCrimmon Crescent between May 29 and May 30, contact police at 667-5555.

Information can also be reported to Jeanie Dendys, the Kwanlin Dun’s director of justice, at 334-1803.
