After a nearly week-long search for missing teen Tyson Blair Macdonald, PEI RCMP says two youth have now been arrested in connection with his disappearance and homicide.
Police and the provincial coroner were on the scene where a body was discovered early Wednesday.
RCMP held a brief press conference Wednesday morning, but gave few details.
“As a result of those arrests, human remains were located in the area of Milltown Cross in Kings County, by our major crime unit and general investigative section members,” said Superintendent Kevin Lewis, acting commanding officer for the PEI RCMP.
“The remains are believed to be those of Tyson MacDonald, although we’re awaiting positive identification by the coroner’s office.”
MacDonald was last seen on Dec. 14 in Caledonia. He had been the subject of a massive search over the last week, involving more than 60 P.E.I. police officers, as well as expanded ground crews and helicopter support.
