Mounties arrested two people in relation to the investigation on Wednesday, but only laid charges against 44-year-old Gordon Blaine McTaggart from Killarney, Ont., the release said.
The Ontario man was charged with second-degree murder on Thursday. A 36-year-old woman was released without charges “as it was determined she had no involvement in this homicide,” police said.
The RCMP Major Crime Services unit will continue to investigate.
