The accused was scheduled to appear in Dartmouth provincial court on Thursday.

Police say the investigation remains ongoing and there’s a $150,000 reward available for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

They are asking anybody with additional information to come forward.

“This arrest marks a significant step in our investigation and we hope it brings some measure of comfort to Jayden’s family, who have endured an unimaginable loss,” Sgt. Shawn Stanton, a member of the RCMP and Halifax Regional Police integrated homicide unit, said in a statement.
