Saint John Police Arrest Suspects in 2021 Murder

0:00Police and St. John, New Brunswick, charged two men this week in the 2021 death of Courtney McKenzie. She was found dead on May 11 at a home in the city's north end. A 39-year-old faces manslaughter, kidnapping, forcible confinement assaults, and messing with human remains. The other, a 40-year-old, got hit with accessory after the fact and interfering with remains. Earlier developments paint a long road to these arrests. Back in April 2023, cops charged a woman for improperly handling remains in the case. They also grabbed a 36-year-old man, but released him without charges. According to police chief Robert Bruce, McKenzie was a vibrant young woman cut down way too early. He praised his team's non-stop push for truth and justice, finally delivering arrests for her family and friends. Meanwhile, the 39-year-old suspect picked up extra charges from a separate attack on another woman, including robbery, forcible confinement, and assault with a weapon.
