A pair of Winnipeggers are now in custody facing first-degree murder charges in connection with the death of a 20-year-old man late last year.
Brooklyn Elijah Hiebert was found dead on Dec. 30, 2023, on Flora Avenue. Police say their investigation shows that he was killed on Selkirk Avenue, then moved to Flora and abandoned.
In July, 36-year-old Christopher Kyle Wattman was arrested, followed by Tuesday’s arrest of Victoria Lee Andrews, 26, who was already in custody at the Headingley Women’s Corrections Centre for an unrelated matter.
Police continue to investigate, and anyone with information or video footage is asked to contact homicide investigators at 204-986-6508 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
