RICHMOND HILL, Ont. – York regional police say a second suspect has been charged in the death of a Toronto man whose body was found in a vehicle in Richmond Hill.

Investigators say the body of 22-year-old Matthew Arcara was found last Thursday morning following a tip from Toronto police regarding a home invasion.

Investigators said they believed Arcara was killed and two suspects then went to a Toronto home associated with the victim.

They said at that location, two men were tied up and robbed, and a dog was killed.
