Charges have been laid in connection with a 2018 homicide investigation in Minto.
Mounties were called to a home on Centennial Drive on the morning of Aug. 1, 2018.
Inside the home, they found the body of a 62-year-old man, identified as Michael Wagnies.
“Evidence gathered by police has led them to believe he was the victim of a homicide,” Mounties said in a news release at the time.
Police say a 38-year-old man was arrested in the Minto area in March in connection with the investigation. He was remanded into custody on unrelated matters.
Wade Thompson of Minto was charged with second-degree murder during a court appearance on Thursday.
Thompson is scheduled to return to court next week.
