Jimmy Hiroshi Miyoshi, 20, of
Vest Vancouver, is charged for
allegedly shoplifting two pairs of
gloves on Jan, 9 from Lumberland
in North Vancouver,

He made a North Vancouver
provincial court appearance last
Wednesday on the charge.

Miyoshi was previously before
the courts in North Vancouver on a
mischief charge. It was dropped last
November.

At the time the charge was
dropped, Miyoshi had cut a deal
with Crown lawyers in Vancouver.
He agreed to be an informant and to
testify against his friends, accused
killers Atif Rafay and Sebastian
Burns, both 20. In exchange for his
testimony, Miyoshi would not be
prosecuted for conspiracy to com-

Supreme Court, Miyoshi is believed
to have known that the slayings
were planned in Canada wecks
before Atif Rafay's parents and sis-

home in 1994.

A murder conspiracy charge car-

according to the Criminal Code.

The mischief charge against

Burns related to incidents alleged to
have occurred three months after the
murders and lasted for six months
while the trio lived on Philip Ave.
Neighbors complained to police that
a search light had been shone on a
