A man has been charged with second-degree murder after the homicide of another man in East Walton, N.S., Monday evening.
In a release Wednesday, the RCMP said officers from West Hants, Indian Brook, Colchester County and Halifax responded to a report of an assault at a home on Highway 215 around 7:20 p.m.
“Upon arrival at the scene, RCMP officers located an unresponsive 71-year-old man in the driveway, and they learned that a second, unarmed, man had fled on foot prior to police arrival,” the release said.
“EHS arrived on scene a short time later and the victim was pronounced deceased. The victim’s death has since been ruled a homicide.”
Around 10 p.m., police found and arrested the man who fled on foot. He was held in custody overnight.
Tyler Blade Neufeld, 28, of East Walton was charged with murder and is scheduled to appear in Truro Provincial Court Wednesday.
