TRURO, N.S. — Police in Truro, N.S., have laid a murder charge against a 20-year-old man in relation to the death of Prabhjot Singh Katri.

Investigators say officers responded to a call at about 2:07 am. on Sept. 5 on Robie Street, and when they arrived they found Katri had suffered serious injuries.

The 23-year-old was rushed to the Colchester East Hants Health Center, where he died.

Truro police say in a news release issued today that they have charged Cameron James Prosper of Pictou Landing First Nation with murder in the death, adding he has been remanded into custody.

Police had earlier confirmed that 21-year-old Dylan Robert MacDonald of Valley, N.S., was charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder, dangerous driving and fleeing police in a vehicle.

A warrant has been issued for 22-year-old Marcus Denny of Pictou Landing First Nation, who is charged with accessory after the fact to murder, and police say they anticipate further charges as the investigation continues.
