Gargol, 18, was found by a passerby on Cedar Villa Estates Road near Valley Road on the morning of March 25, 2015.
She was taken to hospital where she died a short time later. It was the third homicide of 2015 in Saskatoon.
Police investigators were able to identify her through pictures released to the public.
One of Gargol’s close friends, Nikki Allan, said the charges offer some closure. Allan remembers her friend as sweet, honest and caring.
“For once I feel like I finally got her some justice. Brittney was a one of a kind woman and there’s not a single person on this earth who can replace her,” Allan said in a message to Global News.
