On the morning of the memorial service for Tashina General comes the news that 20 year-old Six Nations Arrows lacrosse player Kent Squire-Hill has reportedly been charged with second-degree murder in connection with her death.
21 year-old General was about five months pregnant when she disappeared on January 22, 2008. Hill reported dropping General off in the vicinity of her workplace, Village Pizza, around noon that day. According to the Hamilton Spectator, General never arrived at work. In the weeks that followed, Six Nations police were informed that General had been seen in the community but those reports remain unconfirmed.
The body was discovered by a police dog in an area off Chiefswood Road near Indian Line on the Six Nations reserve. An exact date of death has yet to be determined but preliminary tests indicate that General had been deceased for weeks or even months prior to the discovery of her body. According to police, General died of strangulation.
