Regina police have charged a 48-year-old man with second-degree murder following a weekend homicide investigation east of the downtown core.
Roy Julius Dennis Sayer was charged after police were called to the 1900 block of Montreal Street around 6:30 Saturday morning where they found a 61-year-old man outside of a residence with serious injuries, a Regina police news release said.
The 61-year-old man was taken to hospital where he later died, according to police.
Throughout the investigation, police secured the immediate area where the major crimes unit, forensic identification unit and the Coroner conducted investigations.
Sayer will make his first court appearance on Monday morning.
Regina police said this marks the eighth homicide investigation of 2023.
Admitted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki’s defence lawyers have argued the accused had a history of schizophrenic delusions culminating in ‘catastrophic circumstances,’ while Crown prosecutors say the killings of four vulnerable Indigenous women were driven by Skibicki’s racist views and deviant sexual urges.
