A third person has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of Nicholas Brophy, whose body was found just outside Thompson April 26.
Twenty-year-old Mark Bradley Thomas of South Indian Lake was arrested and charged with first-degree murder May 9 and is in custody pending an appearance in provincial court in Winnipeg scheduled for May 11.
Nineteen-year-old Justin Baker and Zach Linklater, 22, both Thompson residents, were charged with first-degree murder on April 30 in connection with Brophy’s death.
Brophy was 18 when he went missing last Sept. 8 after visiting a friend’s house and there had been no trace of him since, despite extensive search efforts by volunteers and police in the months after he was reported missing Sept. 9.
