Officers say the plan included breaking into a home where the two women live in order to gather information, then later taking them to a remote location to kill them.

The suspect met with the undercover officer who helped him buy supplies to execute the break-in, then agreed to meet him before the planned break-in on Saturday night.

Police say 27-year-old Peter Bandulj was arrested at about 11:30 p.m. and has been charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit murder and three counts of conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
