Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) issued warrants for the arrest of two men who they have charged with second-degree murder in connection with a suspicious Perth death.
In a press release, officials said Joseph Madore, 34, and Brayton Kennedy, 28, from the nation’s capital, are on the run. Police are asking anyone with information to contact them and not to approach the accused if they are seen.
The two are wanted in connection with the death of a 34-year-old Ottawa man.
