In collaboration with the Six Nations Police Service (SNPS), OPP arrested two individuals in connection with the murder of a Six Nations of the Grand River resident earlier this year.
The Toronto Police Service began a homicide investigation on March 8 after the body of Ruth Ann Longboat, 56, of Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, was discovered in the Humber River, south of Dundas Street West, in Toronto.
As a result of an investigation under the direction of the OPP, Michael Joseph, 23, of Brantford, Ont., and Jayden Elijah, 23, of London, Ont., have been charged with first-degree murder and committing an indignity to a body.
Both suspects remain in custody and are scheduled to appear in court on June 7 in Brantford following the charges.
