MEDICINE HAT, AB – In a rare move, second-degree murder charges in connection with the homicide of a Medicine Hat man’s 24-year-old wife were dropped last week following a four-day preliminary hearing.
June Rose was found dead in the Bassano residence the pair shared in January 2019 with police at the time ruling the death a homicide.
Rose’s partner, Chase Leland Hehr, 37, of Medicine Hat, was charged with second-degree murder on January 25, 2019, in connection with the woman’s death.
The couple had moved to Bassano in November 2018 and, according to Rose’s Facebook posts, were married sometime in 2017.
