Mom, stepdad face charges

RCMP say the mother and stepfather of a little boy are being held in custody on first-degree murder charges following painstaking efforts by police on Vancouver Island to get all the evidence to prosecutors. Const. Richard Johns says 28year-old Rykel Frank and 29-yearold Mitchell Frank will go before a judge this week following their arrest on Friday. Six-year-old Dontay Lucas was found dead in a home in Port Alberni in March 2018.
