RCMP says they are making progress on an investigation into a homicide at Bowen Park a year ago. 

Lee Harland was found dead in the park on Sept. 12, 2024, and police determined it was a homicide. 

“The investigation is advancing, and we believe there are individuals with information that could help us obtain closure and justice for Lee and his family,” said constable Richard Mills of the Nanaimo RCMP Serious Crime Unit.  

Police are asking anyone with information on the man’s death to contact the investigation tip line at 250-734-5480.
