Murder charge laid in death of Moncton woman
CBC
A man has been charged with murder after a woman's body was found in a garbage bin in Moncton last month.
Devlin O’Blenis, 35, of Moncton was charged with first-degree murder during an appearance in Moncton provincial court on Thursday, RCMP said in a news release.
He's accused of killing 39-year-old Melissa Price. O’Blenis was remanded and is scheduled to appear in court again on April 2.
The RCMP news release didn't say whether the two knew each other.
RCMP previously said Price's body was found in a garbage bin at the northern end of High Street near Wheeler Boulevard in Moncton on Feb. 15.
Over the following days police searched and photographed an apartment building on Norwood Avenue in Moncton, about a kilometre south of where Price's body was found.
Price was named by police in a news release Monday that said police believed her death was an "isolated incident." Her cause of death hasn't been released.
First-degree murder is generally a homicide that's planned and deliberate. Conviction carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.
