Woman charged with 1st-degree murder in 2021 death of her husband in Nanaimo, B.C.
A B.C. woman has been charged with first-degree murder four years after the death of her husband, say RCMP. Ryan Mosher, 30, was found dead in his Nanaimo, B.C., home on Aug. 12, 2021. Police had gone to check on him after they'd been alerted by Kelowna RCMP that he may be at risk. Mosher and his wife, Desiree, had recently moved from Kelowna to Nanaimo. Desiree Mosher has been charged with killing him. RCMP said Monday that the B.C. Prosecution Service approved a charge of first-degree murder against Desiree Mosher and members of the Nanaimo RCMP Serious Crime Unit arrested her Friday. She remains in custody until a bail hearing, which is set for June 16. Speaking to CBC News, Nanaimo RCMP Const. Sherri Wade said Desiree Mosher was a person of interest following her husband's death, but police needed to follow all avenues of investigation before they could recommend charges. She said that included searching residences and speaking to friends and family members. "Trying to get a full comprehensive picture of the person that died, any of the parties that might be involved," said Wade. She said neither Desiree nor Ryan Mosher were known to Nanaimo RCMP before the death. The Criminal Code of Canada describes first-degree murder as "planned and deliberate."

Woman charged with murder in 2021 killing in Nanaimo, B.C.
An RCMP patch is seen on the shoulder of an assistant commissioner in Surrey, B.C., on Friday, April 28, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck Mounties say a woman has been arrested and is facing a charge of first-degree murder in the killing of a 30-year-old man on Vancouver Island nearly four years ago. Desiree Mosher was arrested by members of the Nanaimo RCMP's serious crime unit on the morning of June 6, according to a statement from police on Monday. Mosher has been charged in the death of Ryan Mosher, whose body was found during a wellness check at a Nanaimo home on Aug. 12, 2021. The deceased had recently moved to Nanaimo from Kelowna, and police were conducting the wellness check at the request of the Kelowna RCMP. 'His death was considered suspicious and the Nanaimo RCMP serious crime unit was called to take conduct of the homicide investigation with assistance from Kelowna RCMP,' the Nanaimo RCMP said in a release shortly after man's body was discovered. 'We strongly believe Mr. Mosher's death is an isolated incident and the general public is not considered to be at risk,' Nanaimo RCMP Const. Derek Balderston said in the release. The suspect remains in police custody with a court appearance scheduled on June 16.
