Two suspects have been charged in connection with an Owen Sound homicide that took place earlier this month.
Around noon on July 7, local police responded to a residence on 2nd Avenue East, where they discovered a deceased 47-year-old male. The death was initially ruled suspicious, and a post-mortem examination revealed it was, in fact, a homicide.
As a result of the ongoing investigation, Owen Sound Police Service and Grey Bruce OPP have charged two 37-year-olds from Owen Sound.
Cody Hassard is facing charges including second degree murder, pointing a firearm, and two counts of forcible confinement.
Ashley-Lynn Dykstra has been charged with accessory to murder after the fact, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and two counts of forcible confinement.
They have been held in custody with a bail hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
