TROY GOLD

Progress being made in Troy Gold homicide investigation

Oct 9, 2019 | 11:25 AM

KAMLOOPS — Investigators appear to be making progress in the investigation into the homicide of Troy Gold.

The 35-year-old Gold was last seen Oct. 1, 2018 and was reported missing soon after. Police confirmed within a couple of weeks that Gold had been murdered.

No arrests have been made in connection to the homicide investigation at this point, although in November 2018 police said they had identified suspects in the case.

In B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops today (Oct. 9), an in-camera hearing took place in regards to the investigation, for an application to extend the detention of items seized from Jason Robertson during a search warrant execution.

Due to the nature of the hearing, nobody other than Robertson, his lawyer, the Crown prosecutor, and Justice Len Marchand could be present in the courtroom.

“This is an exhibit detention hearing regarding the Troy Gold homicide investigation,” Kamloops Serious Crimes Unit Staff Sgt. Simon Pillay told CFJC Today outside the courtroom. “This investigation is still a priority case for Kamloops Serious Crimes.”

Pillay added Kamloops RCMP could not comment further on the matter.

There has been no evidence made public about any connection between Robertson and Gold, and Robertson is not facing any charges in connection to the investigation. It’s not clear what items have been seized from Robertson.

In 2018, Robertson was convicted of several offences in relation to a 2014 RCMP search of his home. Originally charged with dozens of offences, a judge ruled in 2016 that parts of the search resulted in his Charter rights being breached, and the list of charges against Robertson dwindled down.

There have been no public allegations made about Robertson’s involvement with the Gold homicide.
