Montreal police say a 48-year-old man has been charged in connection with the death of a 64-year-old man last April.
Dean Meister appeared in a Montreal courtroom on Wednesday and was charged with second-degree murder in the man’s death.
Police said Meister was already incarcerated when he was arrested on Sept. 15.
The events date back to April 9 when officers discovered the victim inside his home after family members expressed concern after not hearing from him.
Police said he was unconscious and his body bore signs of violence.
A suspect was arrested at the scene for aggravated assault.
The victim was taken to hospital but died of his injuries a few days later.
Montreal police say it is the 16th homicide of 2020.
