2 Calgary men charged in 2004 Saskatoon killing

Two Calgary men have been charged with the 2004killing of a Saskatchewan man.

In April of that year, Isho Hana was chased down and shot in the middle of a Saskatoon street.

Police at the time called it a contract killing amid an escalating drug turf dispute the city was experiencing.

Neil Lee Yakimchuck and Kennith Jacob Tingle both 31 have now been charged with first-degree murder following an 11-month joint investigation by police in Calgary and Saskatoon.

Both men are already in the Calgary remand centre awaiting trials in connection to another killing.

Yakimchuck and Tingle were charged in March for the first-degree murder of Juan Carlos Dequina.

The 21-year-old man was found shot to death inside his SUV on an isolated gravel road on the T'suu T'ina native reserve at the southwest edge of Calgary in December 2008.

The lengthy investigation into his death led detectives to new information about Hanas killing, which was a cold-case homicide for Saskatoon police.

Yakimchuck and Tingle make their next court appearances in February 2012.
