Man arrested in Saint John homicide case
A man has been arrested as Saint John police continue a homicide investigation involving the death of a 63‑year‑old man.
The investigation began after New Brunswick Justice and Public Safety Coroner Services notified officers on Aug. 26 that the man’s death was believed to involve foul play.
Investigators later learned the victim had been found with a head injury on July 19 after paramedics were called to a men’s shelter in the 100‑block of Waterloo Street.
The man was taken to the hospital and died on July 26. Officers arrested a 38‑year‑old man on Jan. 29.
He has been charged with manslaughter and failing to comply with a probation order.
The accused was remanded into custody following his first court appearance and returned to court on Monday.
He is scheduled to appear again on Feb. 5.
