DRYDEN, Ont. — Provincial police have charged a man with second-degree murder after an incident at a northern Ontario trailer park that left one person dead and four others injured.
Police in Dryden, Ont., say they were called to the trailer park on the night of March 2 for reports of a suspicious person.
They say that while officers were on the scene, they found two people who were injured and also arrested a suspect.
Four hours later, police say they found another injured person in a residence in the trailer park and five hours after that, they found two more victims — one who was dead, another who had serious injuries.
Police say 36-year-old Justin Desautels (day-zoh-TEL') was initially charged with assaulting a peace officer causing bodily harm, break and enter and attempted murder.
He's now facing additional charges of second-degree murder and attempted murder.
