Victoria Police Department honouring Const. Johnston Cochrane on the anniversary on his death
A ‘whodunit’ over 150 years old plagues the Victoria Police Department as it marks the anniversary of the first police officer killed in the line of duty in B.C.
Cochrane had signed out a firearm, left the VicPD on foot and headed to the Craigflower Farm area to serve a warrant on a suspect for a pig theft. police at that time normally went out on patrol unarmed, but this was considered a dangerous duty.A suspect was arrested two days later but was quickly let go due to a “water-tight” alibi. A second suspect was arrested on June 21, but the charges were dismissed for lack of evidence.
