A 45-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of a senior in Leduc, Alta., earlier this week.
On Tuesday, RCMP were asked to do a wellness check on a man at an apartment building on 50th Street.
The man was found dead. He has been identified as 74-year-old Leduc resident Leonard Harry Belcourt.
The Alberta RCMP major crimes unit has taken over the investigation.
