A press release from RCMP said the initial investigation led officers to a home in the community, where a female youth was arrested.

Due to her age, she cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and because of the size of the community, RCMP did not provide an exact age.

She was scheduled to appear in provincial court in Deschambault Lake on Wednesday.

In a separate incident, police also arrested a man from Deschambault Lake wanted on warrants for charges including assault with a weapon.

Police said the man had “serious” injuries and was taken to hospital.

Anyone with information about the boy’s homicide or the separate assault is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
