KAMLOOPS, B.C. – A 35-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder after his mother’s body was found near her Kamloops, B.C., home a year ago.

Mounties say 57-year-old Jo-Anne Donovan was found dead about a week after she had been reported missing.

RCMP says its serious crime unit launched an investigation after the body was found.

Police say they arrested Brandon Donovan on Friday after the BC Prosecution Service approved the charge.
