Two men were charged on Thursday September 18, 2025, with second-degree murder in the homicide investigation of Adam Hibbert.
On October 1, 2021, around 4:15 p.m., Kamloops frontline officers attended an area along the shoreline near the entrance to the City of Kamloops landfill after Kamloops Fire Rescue discovered a body while responding to a suspicious fire. This initiated an almost 4-year long police investigation resulting in charges being laid against Tristan Bris Fernandez and Robert Lloyd Sedore. Fernandez is currently in custody on an unrelated mater. Sedore has been arrested and is also in custody.
“This was an extensive and complex investigation that required a high level of commitment, collaboration, and determination,” said Superintendent Jeff Pelley, Kamloops RCMP Detachment Officer in Charge. “Over the course of this investigation, our members worked tirelessly, often under challenging circumstances, to gather evidence, follow up investigative material, and ensure that every aspect of the case was thoroughly examined. Their dedication reflects the professionalism and perseverance of our investigators.”
The Officer in Charge further stated, “While we cannot speak to the details as these matters are before the courts, I want to acknowledge the significant effort that has gone into bringing the investigation to this stage. The work of our investigators demonstrates our commitment to ensuring public safety, supporting victims and their families, and holding individuals accountable through the justice system.”
The investigation will now continue to progress through the court process, and no further information will be available for release.
