Another North
Vancouver resident has
been murdered — the
fourth in just 10 days.

The latest gory death
occurred at a home on the
800 block East 13th Street at
about 2 a.m. Friday, when a
46-year-old North Van-
couver City employee was
stabbed in the chest with a
kitchen knife.

Once again, police were
treating the killing as a
domestic dispute, and North
Vancouver RCMP called in
vacationing detective
personnel to help handle the
murder investigations.

Lorraine Theresa
Degerness, aged 48, was
arrested and was to appear
in provincial court in North
Vancouver later Friday
charged with murdering her
husband, Clifton Degerness.

Police had taken a small
kitchen paring knife said to
have been found at the
murder scene, and believed
to have been used to stab the
man in the chest. They said
the death appeared to have
resulted from “an alcohol-
related domestic dispute .”

Just three days earlier, a
woman recently arrived in
North Vancouver died in
hospital in New Westminster
after being found shot in the
head, locked in the trunk of
a car abandoned on a bush
trail near Aldergrove.

Douglas Albert Reeves
has since been charged with
the first degree murder of his
estranged wife, 57-year-old
Mary Louise Reeves, which
Langley RCMP believe
centred on a dispute over the
custody of children.

Exactly a week earhier. on
Tuesday, August 12 North
Vancouver District firemen
found the bodies of a young
couple when they answered
a fire call to 894 Frederick
Road int ynn Vaticy
