Man arrested in connection with 2 Colchester County homicides
RCMP say Ronald Albert Canuel was located and safely arrested in New Brunswick
RCMP have arrested a man who was the subject of a Canada-wide warrant in connection with two homicides in December in Nova Scotia's Colchester County.
On Wednesday, police said in a news release that 35-year-old Ronald Albert Canuel of Bathurst, N.B., was found and safely arrested in New Brunswick. Police said more information will be released when available.
Police were looking for Canuel in relation to two deaths in Nova Scotia last month.
On Dec. 21, police and EHS responded to a report of a man in medical distress at a home on Vincent Drive in Upper Onslow near Truro. The 25-year-old man from Pictou Landing First Nation was pronounced dead at the scene.
The next morning, Truro police and paramedics responded to a call about a man in distress at a home on Lavinia Drive in Truro. The 27-year-old Truro man was pronounced dead at the scene.
RCMP said in the news release that both men had gone to hospital a few days earlier with serious stab wounds.
The Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service later ruled the deaths homicides.
