RCMP in Nova Scotia have charged a third person with first-degree murder in relation to the 2021 death of Andrew Carter Morris in Eskasoni First Nation.
Officers first responded to a sudden death in the community on Aug. 9, 2021, just before 6 a.m., on Beach Road.
On scene, police found the body of a 30-year-old man, whose death was later ruled a homicide.
In a release, RCMP said they arrested a 23-year-old man at home on 74th Street in Eskasoni on May 4.
Anthanasius (Tannas) Dennis has been charged with first-degree murder and is scheduled to appear in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court on Monday.
Two others were charged with first-degree murder in February of this year: Kurt Daniel Gould, 33, and Scentina Marie Michael, 34, both of Eskasoni First Nation.
“At this time, investigators do not anticipate further arrests,” RCMP said.
