Manitoba RCMP say an arrest has been made in connection with a double homicide in Portage la Prairie last month.
Police were called to a home on Oak Bay in Portage on Dec. 1, where they found two people — a 42-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman — dead at the scene.
The investigation led them to the suspect who was arrested Thursday in Sandy Bay by the Manitoba First Nations Police Service.
