Howie Centre man charged with first-degree murder

A 73-year-old Howie Centre man has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife.

Gregory James Dilney was charged during a court appearance yesterday after the death of 71-year-old Brenda Ann Dilney on March 5.

He remains in custody pending an appearance back in court March 25 for a status update.

Police were called to the couple’s Kings Road home earlier this month for what they described as a domestic incident.

Police say Brenda Dilney was pronounced dead not long after their arrival.
