Police investigating the 2021 murder of a man in Penticton, B.C., have arrested four people in connection with the case, including three who were youths at the time of the killing.

Taig Savage, 22, was found unresponsive in a field at Penticton Secondary School on Sept. 5, 2021. The local man was taken to hospital with critical injuries and later pronounced dead.
