A Canadian soldier, 50-year-old Howard Richmond, was recently charged with first-degree murder in the death of his 28-year-old wife, Melissa Richmond. The warrant officer with the Canadian Forces, Richmond, was presented briefly in court on Saturday after which he was remanded into custody.
Richmond seemed tired and only raised his eyes for a short while only to acknowledge his sister and a family friend present in the courthouse, along with the time when judge inquired from him if he understood the charges filed against him. Richmond is now scheduled to appear in court through a video link again on Tuesday. The charges of first-degree murder were laid against Richmond only a day after he was arrested and placed in police custody. A funeral service to remember Melissa Richmond is organized on Saturday at St. George’s Chapel in Petawawa. Meanwhile, as per the ongoing police investigation into the incident, investigators executed several search warrants on Friday, among which included one to search the couple’s home in Winchester, Ont. A truck owned and run by Howard Richmond was also towed to a lab for conducting a search for forensic evidence.
Richmond filed a missing person’s report of his wife on July 24, alleging that she took a late-night drive from their Winchester, Ont. home and never came back. Whereas, two days later the police was able to locate the vehicle in a parking lot of the nearby South Keys Shopping Centre in south Ottawa. While the body was found two days after that from a deep ditch near a storm drain along Bank Street, near the shopping centre.
