North Battleford RCMP have laid charges in the suspicious death of a 59-year-old man who was found earlier this week.
Police received information on Thursday morning that led them to a rural property southeast of Cochin, Sask., where Gordon Ernest Tucker was found dead.
Joshua Roy Tucker, 27, is now facing charges of second-degree murder, and breach of probation.
The accused, from the Cochin area, is expected to appear in North Battleford provincial court at 9:30 a.m. CT on Monday.
The Major Crimes Unit North and the Saskatchewan coroner’s office assisted with the sudden death investigation.
Cochin is roughly 160 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon.
