Beauchamp was released from the Grande Cache Institution on March 3 after completing a six-year sentence for robbery, overcoming resistance by attempting to choke, suffocating or strangling another person, and failing to comply with recognizance.

A Canada-wide warrant for 33-year-old Natomagan was issued just two days after his release.
