NARAMATA, B.C. — RCMP say murder charges have been laid in the killings of two Kamloops brothers last month in Naramata.

The bodies of Erick and Carlo Fryer were found near the Naramata Creek Forest Service on May 10.

Friday (June 18), first degree murder charges were laid against 35-year-old Anthony Graham of Penticton and 32-year-old Wade Cudmore of Naramata.

In a release, RCMP say Cudmore was arrested and remains in custody, while Graham is still outstanding. Police believe Graham may be in danger and are asking him to turn himself in.

“Their homicides are believed to be connected to gang and drug activities, with alleged criminal activities not limited to Naramata but other areas of BC including Northern BC and the Lower Mainland,” said Supt. Sanjaya Wijayakoon, the acting officer in charge of the BC RCMP Major Crime Section.

“We are concerned that Anthony is a target and those associated to him, or found in his proximity are also at risk. Anthony, if you see or hear this message, I am asking you to turn yourself into the nearest police station,” Wijayakoon continued.

Anyone with more information on the killings is asked to call the RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit tipline at 1 (877) 987-8477.
