KELOWNA - The man arrested for murdering a woman at the Hiawatha R.V. Park in Kelowna has been charged with second degree murder.
The body of Amy Jane Parkes, 35, was found shortly before 10 a.m. April 1 inside mobile home #8 in the 3700 block of Lakeshore Road. She failed to show up for work that morning and police were asked to check on her welfare.

Quigley is charged with second degree murder and remains in custody. He's scheduled to appear in court today, April 4.
