The loss of the two- storey home on Ed Golding Bay, at the east end of Pandora Avenue, is estimated at $ 400,000. The homeowners fled the fire, which started in the basement. No one was hurt, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. JOE BRYKSA / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS SCAN PAGE FOR VIDEO OF FIRE A Regina man has been charged with two counts of second- degree murder five months after a common- law couple was found dead inside a Wolseleyarea rooming house. Jeff Kionke, 44, was arrested in Regina on Feb. 5 by the Regina Police Service after the Winnipeg Police Service issued an arrest warrant following a months- long investigation. Winnipeg police Const. Eric Hofley said Monday Kionke was transferred back to Winnipeg by homicide detectives and is being held in the Winnipeg Remand Centre. Unice Ophelia Crow, 19, and Trevor James Sinclair, 31, died of multiple stab wounds to the upper body. Hofley confirmed police believe Crow and Sinclair died on Aug. 29, 2013, but their bodies weren't discovered in the rooming house in the 200 block of Chestnut Street until Sept. 4. " He ( Kionke) was residing in the residence at the time," Hofley said. " They were known to each other," the officer added, but said police are still investigating to determine what led to the slayings. Hofley said Kionke either fled or moved to Regina after the slayings. Kionke, who has run a painting subcontracting business called Kionke's Painting, was known to police. Area residents said at the time of the slaying police had been called to the rooming house many times. Suspect charged in double slaying W EEKS after giving a statement to RCMP homicide detectives implicating his own brother in a grisly homicide, Alex Brincheski sent a letter to a lawyer aimed at recanting what he'd said and wanting to set the record straight. But that letter and his comments to police in relation to the 2008 death of Chad Davis, 22, have instead come back to haunt the 25- year- old, who was called by prosecutors Monday to testify against his kin. Alex Brincheski confirmed it's true he told RCMP several things suggesting his older brother, Kristopher, had intimate knowledge of Davis being killed in a sneak attack inside a garage and his body put in a barrel. But, Brincheski testified, what he told police was only meant to relay to them that's what Kristopher had said to him - not that Kristopher had direct knowledge of Davis's death. Prosecutors allege Kristopher Brincheski, 31, and Corey Tymchyshyn, 37, killed Davis on Feb. 6, 2008 inside a garage at 703 Prince Rupert St. Davis's remains weren't found until months later, inside a plastic barrel found floating on the Lee River outside Lac du Bonnet. The men have pleaded not guilty to first- degree murder. Alex Brincheski told court his brother appeared " really panicked" after learning on Sept. 4, 2008, RCMP were to search the Beeston Drive home where they then lived. Court has heard several items identified as belonging to Davis were found there. They went in Kristopher's truck to remove a few things, including a large TV set, Brincheski said. " He said that he had to get rid of Chad's stuff out of the house," Brincheski said. " I didn't want to help him move somebody's stuff that was stolen - become an accomplice," he said. The next day, he and his girlfriend found themselves approached by RCMP and took part in interviews at D Division headquarters on Portage Avenue. It was there Brincheski told police of a recent conversation he'd had, where Kristopher indicated he'd been in the garage at the time of Davis's death, jurors heard. Brincheski backed away from this in court. " I don't actually remember him telling me he was there," Alex said. " It was nearing the end of my statement and I wanted to leave." He later confirmed to Crown attorney Keith Eyrikson this was the single thing in his statement he had lied about. The many qualifications of his answers in court put the Crown in the unusual position of cross- examining its own witness. james. turner@ freepress. mb. ca Alleged killer's kin recants statement By James Turner B_ 02_ Feb- 11- 14_ FP_ 01. indd B2 2/ 10/ 14 7: 43: 03 PM ;
