UPDATE: On March 28, 2019, the RCMP renewed a plea for tips as they search for Nyabirungu, who is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant. They also issued two new photos of him in the hope that someone will recognize him and contact police.
Two more people have now been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 33-year-old Aldane Mesquita, whose body was found east of Edmonton last summer.
According to police, Mesquita’s body was found on a rural property in Strathcona County on Sept. 13, 2018. His death was ruled a homicide on Dec. 20.
In a news release issued on Tuesday, the RCMP said 30-year-old Tyson Richard Clark, who is currently in the Drumheller Institution, and 30-year-old Jean Leon Musoni of Edmonton have been charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping and aggravated assault in connection with the death.
The charges against Clark and Musoni mean six people have now been charged in relation to the incident; Omar Abdirizak, Omar Clement Fofie and Roger Rurangwa have also been charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault while Mohammed Jawara has been charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping.
