·      Second Degree Murder contrary to section 235(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada; and,

Police are seeking at least two additional suspects in connection with this investigation. A $50,000 reward remains in place for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Alex TOBIN’s murder.
