Teen boy charged with 2nd-degree murder after death of Easterville girl
A 15-year-old boy has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of a 16-year-old girl in the northern Manitoba community of Easterville, police say.
RCMP were called just after 2 a.m. on Friday to what they described as “an open area” in the community, about 400 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.
They found a girl with obvious injuries who was pronounced dead at the scene.
An RCMP spokesperson told CBC News Friday the area where the girl was found was a field or an undeveloped lot.
The accused, who was arrested Friday, remains in custody and the investigation is ongoing, RCMP said in a Saturday update.
The girl’s death is believed to be the third homicide in Easterville and the adjacent community of Chemawawin Cree Nation since early May.
On May 4, a 32-year-old woman was killed in Easterville and a 35-year-old woman was found with life-threatening injuries. Two girls, ages 13 and 14, were charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder.
On May 13, a 14-year-old girl who was seriously injured was pronounced dead at the Chemawawin nursing station. Kingsley Lachose, 19, was charged with second-degree murder.
