Kenn Borek pilot found
dead in Calgary
A 21-year-old Calgary man
has been charged with first-degree murder after a Kenn Borek pilot was found
dead in an apartment this past weekend, the Calgary Herald reported.
The victim was Scott Michael
Barr, 25, a pilot who worked for Kenn Borek Air for the last year. Since last
fall, he worked partly out of Iqaluit on three-week stints that took him to
Pangnirtung, Kimmirut and Cape Dorset.
A neighbor in his Calgary
apartment building said he heard yelling and "running around" that
ended abruptly.
Sean Loutitt, Kenn Borek's
chief pilot, said he was surprised and upset by the violent death. A co-worker
in Iqaluit told the Herald she was sad to hear of the death of "a great
guy."
Calgary police arrested
Matthew Wesley Veness on Monday. The cause of death has not been released. A
first-degree murder charge implies that the murder may have been planned and
deliberate.
