Sask. man charged in Esterhazy homicide

A man from Calder, Sask., has been arrested and accused of killing a man from Esterhazy.

Saskatchewan RCMP have charged 48-year-old Curtis Sokoloski with one count of second-degree murder and one count of committing an indignity to a body in the death of 61-year-old Bentley Baumung.

Baumung was found dead in a home on Sunday in the northeast area of Esterhazy.

RCMP said they don’t believe his death is connected to the recent homicide the city saw in February.
