A man who was arrested this week after a Canada-wide warrant was issued for his capture has been charged with murder.

The RCMP says Ronald Albert Canuel, 35, is facing two counts of second-degree murder in relation to two homicides in Colchester County.

Canuel, who is from New Brunswick, was arrested on Jan. 8 outside an apartment building in Campbellton, N.B., a small town 180 kilometres north of Miramichi.

Earlier this week, police said Canuel was wanted in connection to the murder of two men, aged 25 and 27, in the Truro area.

Canuel has been brought back to Nova Scotia and will be appearing in Truro Provincial Court.
