As the calendar is about to turn to a new year it is time for Yorkton This Week to countdown the top-10 stories from our pages in 2019.
From Dec. 26 through to Jan. 4, we will be posting one story a day, so check back daily as the countdown continues.
The events of 2019’s top story happened in 2018. Colin Focht went missing in Sept. 2018, and was last seen in the 100 block of Bradbrook Drive on Sept. 1, 2018 according to the RCMP release at the time.
It was April 4, 2019 before there was an update in the case. Focht’s remains were discovered in a rural area outside of Yorkton. Taiya Alice Hudy was arrested and charged with second degree murder.
Jeremy Ironstand and two youth were later charged in relation to the murder later that week. Ironstand and one of the youth were charged with second degree murder, while the second youth was charged with accessory after the fact of murder. The three were in custody at the time on unrelated charges.
The accused remain before the courts.
