Second-Degree Murder Charge

A northwestern Ontario man faces a second-degree murder charge after initially being accused of aggravated assault.
Thunder Bay Police upgraded the charge four days after 53-year-old Barney Beaver of Webequie First Nation died of his
injuries in hospital.
Police say Beaver was found unconscious in his room at Thunder Bay’s Victoria Inn December 17th by cleaning staff.
Thirty-three-year-old Summer Beaver First Nation resident Kelsey Lance Charles Jacob is in custody and will appear in Thunder Bay court on January 5th.
