The RCMP have arrested a third suspect in the homicide of a 52-year-old Bloodvein First Nation man last February in northern Manitoba.
Police said they arrested a boy, 17, in Selkirk Oct. 9.
He’s been charged with second-degree murder.
The arrest quickly followed a second arrest on Oct. 7 when a boy, 16, from Winnipeg was apprehended and also charged with second-degree murder.
That brings the total number of suspects to three after the initial arrest of a boy, 17, Feb. 11 from Bloodvein First Nation.
That youth was also charged in a separate homicide of a 31-year-old man also from Bloodvein.
Police initially responded to a house fire in Bloodvein Feb. 8 and when the fire was put out the remains of an adult man were found.
No further arrests are expected.
