A murder suspect wanted in Ontario could be in a number of places in B.C., says the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
Joeseph Madore, 34, from Ottawa, has known associations in the Terrace, Richmond, Abbotsford and Chilliwack areas, the OPP said in a May 10, 2026 release.
He and Brayton Kennedy, 28, also from Ottawa, are wanted for the second degree murder of Christo Allison Richards, 34, of Ottawa.
Police were called to a park in Perth south of Ottawa on the afternoon of April 12, 2026 where they found Richards suffering from life-threatening injuries. He later did in hospital.
