Three people from Six Nations of the Grand River have been charged with second-degree murder in connection with a triple homicide near London.

Melissa Miller, 37, Alan Porter, 33, and Michael Jamieson, 32, were found dead Nov. 4, 2018, in a field near Oneida Nation of the Thames. All three were also residents of Six Nations of the Grand River.

Miller was seven months pregnant at the time of her death.

Police have charged Nicholas Shipman, 36, Jamie Beaver, 32, and Thomas Bomberry, 30, of Six Nations of the Grand River.

Shipman and Bomberry are charged with second-degree murder in the deaths of Miller and Porter, while Shipman is also charged with second-degree murder in Jamieson’s death.

Shipman and Bomberry were denied bail in a court appearance on Wednesday and will be back in court on May 9.

The arrests come just a few weeks after the families of the victims released a video appealing for information in the case.

Porter’s sister-in-law, Amber Porter, thanked police for their hard work and said her family is requesting privacy.

“We’ve lost a lot,” said Porter. “We’ve lost a lot. Not just us, but this community. We’re all related.”

Acting Deputy Chief Darren Montour of the Six Nations Police Service said the investigation is ongoing, and he is urging anyone with information to contact police.

“It saddens me to know that people who call this area home have been charged with ending the lives of three fellow community members in such a tragic way,” said Montour. “It has taken great courage for the families to endure the months that have passed while we conduct a thorough and professional investigation.”

A publication ban is in effect, and police are not releasing any details about possible motives, causes of death or relationships between the victims and the accused.

Police are also refusing to comment on any potential connections to other homicides.

Miller’s obituary in November said that her partner was the late Douglas Hill, whose remains were found August 2017 in Oneida Nation.
