The ex-husband of Tatjana Stefanski – the woman whose disappearance and death set the small town of Lumby, B.C., on edge last month – has been charged with her murder.
Vitali Stefanski was charged with second-degree murder on Friday, the B.C. RCMP said in a late-afternoon news release.
Tatjana was last seen alive on April 13, when she was reported to have been seen getting into her ex-husband's vehicle.
Her body was found in a rural area the following day, and "a man believed to be involved in her death was arrested," police said.
That man was released from custody with conditions, and the B.C. RCMP's Southeast District Major Crime Unit has been working to gather evidence to support a murder charge ever since, police said Friday.
"Although this investigation to date has had its many challenges, the recent charges brought against Mr. Stefanski are the result of the tireless investigative work done by the members of the SED MCU and Vernon RCMP detachment," said Staff Sgt. Jason Smart, the officer in charge of the major crime unit, in the release.
Police said Vitali has been arrested and is now in custody pending his next court appearance.
