RCMP were initially investigating the deaths as suspicious and an autopsy later determined they were homicides.
The victims, aged 39 and 57, suffered gunshot wounds, police said.
“The name[s] of the accused and victims will not be released at this time pending a swearing of an information,” police said.
However, family confirmed to Global News earlier this week that the victims were 39-year-old Jacob Sansom and his 57-year-old uncle Morris Cardinal.
Glendon is located about 210 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.
