3rd teenage boy charged in Swan River murder investigation

Another teenage boy has been charged in the death of a Brandon man whose body was found in a park in western Manitoba last week.

The 15-year-old was arrested Tuesday and charged with manslaughter.

Two 16-year-old boys are also in custody. One was arrested on Saturday and charged with second-degree murder, and the other was arrested on Monday and also charged with second-degree murder.

All three are from the Swan River, about 270 kilometers north of Brandon.

The victim, whose identity has not been released by police, was found unresponsive at Legion Park in Swan River at around 11pm on November 1.

He suffered “obvious injuries” and was pronounced dead at the scene, RCMP said in a news release.

RCMP believe the boys and man knew each other and say the attack was not a random attack.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP at 204-734-4686.

Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. or online.
