Charges have been laid in relation to a homicide that occurred in Buffalo Narrows in late March.

On March 22, police officers from Buffalo Narrows RCMP and Dillon RCMP responded to the report of a disturbance at a residence in Dillon. When police officers arrived at the residence, they found two men with serious injuries.

Life-saving efforts were attempted by EMS to save 28-year-old Ty Armand Lemaigre, but he died of his injuries at the scene. The other male was transported to local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was later sent to Saskatoon for further treatment.

Forty-five-year-old Bartholomew Herman of Bear Creek has been charged with one count of second degree murder in relation to the death of Ty Lemaigre.

The Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crime Unit North, General Investigation Sections from Prince Albert and North Battleford as well as Forensic Identification Section from North Battleford assisted with the investigation.

Herman will appear in La Loche Provincial Court via video on June 4.
