Charges are being laid in metro’s first homicide of 2012. Marc Bernard Tremblay, 25, was pronounced dead at the crime scene near Alma Crescent in Fairview on Thursday night.
“Investigators with the HRP/RCMP Integrated Major Crime Unit have charged 18-year-old Aidan David Cromwell with second degree murder and two counts of breach of recognizance,” said Constable Kathryn Willett in a news release Friday afternoon. “He will be held in custody over the weekend and is scheduled to appear in Halifax Provincial Court on Monday, February 6 to answer to the charges.”
At 11:20 p.m. Thursday, Halifax Regional Police got a 911 call about about a stabbing on Alma Crescent. Officers found a man’s body at the corner of Ashdale Avenue and Titus Street.
“Officers…located a male with a stab wound,” said Staff Sgt. Bill Morris. “Paramedics arrived on scene shortly thereafter and pronounced the male dead.”
A K9 unit initially searched the area for witnesses and suspects, but could not find anyone connected with the stabbing. A man and woman were later arrested nearby on Evans Avenue. The woman was released Friday without charges.
