Following the discovery of a body in a remote area in May, four men have been charged with murder and accessory to murder, according to the RCMP.
On May 25, Fairview Mounties received a report around 4:15 p.m. from four bear hunters who had found a body in the wilderness.
The deceased, identified as 54-year-old Wilfred Rever from Manning, Alberta, was confirmed to have died from homicide after an autopsy on May 27.
The investigation, led by Peace River RCMP and the Major Crimes Unit, resulted in the arrests of four suspects on October 23 and 24.
The arrested individuals are 44-year-old Brooke Burton of Manning, 32-year-old Christopher Valin of Berwyn, 57-year-old Glenn Whitney of Fairview, and 57-year-old Guy Valin of Berwyn.
Christopher Valin is charged with second-degree murder, while the others face charges of accessory to murder and indignity to a body.
RCMP clarified that those arrested were not the bear hunters who reported the body.
All four suspects are currently in police custody and are scheduled to appear in court on October 28.
