Mounties have made an arrest in relation to a suspicious death last year in northern Saskatchewan.
Aaron Kkailther, 31, was taken into custody without incident at a residence in Wollaston Lake on Tuesday.

He faces one charge of second-degree murder in relation to the death of Pierre Kkailther. On April 29, 2015, officers were called to a business in La Ronge where the 50-year-old man was found dead.
Preliminary investigation led police to believe the death was suspicious in nature.
“No matter how many weeks, months or years pass, an unsolved case, or a case where charges are not yet laid, is never closed,” said Staff Sgt. Dale Rockel, with the RCMP major crime unit north.
“The charge laid in this instance is just one outcome of the challenging work our members do every day.”

Kkailther is scheduled to appear in La Ronge provincial court on Thursday morning.
RCMP said both men from Wollaston Lake were known to each other.
