HALIFAX — The murders of two Nova Scotia men who were killed while out getting a Christmas tree, remains unsolved after three years.
The remains of Earle Stewart, 59, and Matthew Hebb, 22, were found by emergency personnel after they responded to a structure fire off Highway 374 near Sheet Harbour, N.S., on December 12, 2012.
Both men lived on Herring Cove Road in Halifax, and it’s believed they were neighbours.
RCMP have never said how the men were killed but did deem their deaths as homicides.
Two people were arrested shortly after the pair’s bodies were discovered, but were released after questioning. No charges have even been laid.
RCMP say they are hoping that anyone with information about the case will come forward and speak with investigators with the goal of “ultimately leading to an arrest in this case.”
“The community plays a critical role in solving crimes and we need their help with this case,“ says Constable Jody Allison of the Homicide Unit. “Any piece of information could prove useful to investigators.”
Anyone with information regarding the person or persons responsible for the murders of Earle Stewart and Matthew Hebb is urged to contact any RCMP office or Halifax Regional Police or crimesstoppers.ns.ca.
