Details will be unavailable during the trial of a man charged in the murder of Sicamous' Wayne Sirvio after a publication ban was put in place.
At the May 29 pre-trial conference of Danny Sirvio, charged with second-degree murder in the 2023 death of his uncle, defence attorney Tony Lagemaat requested the ban, explaining "this will be a jury trial." After Crown counsel Alison Buchanan agreed with the call, the publication ban was put into effect immediately.
Sirvio, 58, was arrested and charged for the murder Aug. 16, 2024 after a year of investigation by the Southeast District Major Crime Unit. The victim was reported missing on Aug. 2, 2023 and the body located at a local residence three days later.
To this point, the case has taken place at the Salmon Arm Court but, as it doesn't have a courtroom that can accommodate a jury, the trial will move to a different location.
