A murder on the White Bear First Nation over the weekend was followed by a quick arrest.
The Carlyle RCMP detachment was alerted to a homicide on March 3 at 9 a.m., and upon entering the house on the White Bear First Nation, found Kelvin Kim Myers deceased. He was 48 years old. His 19-year-old son Kelvin Lyle Myers was arrested at the residence without incident, according to an RCMP press release, and has been charged with second degree murder.
Myers made his first court appearance in Estevan provincial court on March 5, represented by Legal Aid, and he was remanded in custody to March 19 when he will appear back in Estevan.
The investigation by the RCMP Major Crime Unit - South is continuing with assistance from the Carlyle RCMP, Yorkton Provincial General Investigation Section and the Yorkton Forensic Identification Section.
In other court proceedings, Jerry McCaw appeared facing a number of charges that allege he evaded paying income taxes from 2006 to 2009. Jake's Oilfield, a business believed by the courts to have been McCaw's at one time, is also facing charges of tax evasion. McCaw said he was not in control of that company, but Judge Karl Bazin read the charges to him anyway.
McCaw is alleged to have not reported about $548,000 in those years, and to have evaded about $114,900 in tax, while Jake's Oilfield is alleged to have evaded $99,600.
A Canadian Revenue Agency representative was present in court with an initial disclosure package, but McCaw would not accept it, saying that a corporation was handling the matter for him as a trustee and he was only the beneficiary. He told the court he didn't have the authority to take the disclosure to his trustee and that he wasn't able to tell the court who the trustee was.
