Two charged with murder of 92-year-old man found dead in Ponoka County
RCMP say an autopsy confirmed the death of Loel Fenske, found outside his rural home in February, was a homicide.
Ponoka RCMP have charged two people with second-degree murder following the death of 92-year-old Loel Fenske. Timothy Bull, 48, and Syran Bull, 19, both residents of Maskwacis, face the charges after a Major Crimes Unit investigation.
Fenske was found dead outside his rural residence in Ponoka County on Feb. 24, 2026, at approximately 11:25 a.m. Police determined the circumstances were suspicious, and an autopsy later confirmed the manner of death was homicide, prompting RCMP Major Crimes Unit to take over the investigation.
Following a judicial interim release hearing, Syran Bull was remanded to appear in Alberta Court of Justice in Ponoka on Oct. 6, while Timothy Bull was remanded to appear in the same court on Oct. 16.
