RCMP are finishing up a three-day investigation on Hein Road following a serious assault.

Two men are in custody after an incident that unfolded on Monday at about 7 p.m.

Const. Jesse O’Donaghey said police were notified of a person at Kelowna General Hospital who was receiving treatment for injuries consistent with an assault.

An investigation was sparked, which led officers to the arrest of two suspects who are related to two properties on Hein Road, both of which remain the subject of a continuing investigation.

One home that was a focus of investigation by RCMP on Wednesday is just two doors down in a quadruplex house, from where Benjamin Cory Virgint, 35, was found shot to death in August.

“This appears to be an isolated incident,” said O’Donaghey. “All suspects have been arrested in connection to this incident and the public is not at risk."

Clayton Zeleniski, 46, faces an assault charge.

A second 46-year-old Kelowna man, faces potential charges including assault, weapons and drug-related charges. Both men remain in police custody at this time and appeared in court Wednesday.

Anyone with any additional information is asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP General Investigations Section (GIS) at 250-762-3300.
