Police in Halifax say they have arrested a fourth person in the killing of a teenage boy who was reported missing two years ago and found dead in September.
Devon Sinclair Marsman was 16 when he was last seen in the Spryfield area of Halifax in February 2022.
Halifax Regional Police said Saturday that Chelsey Herritt, 26, had turned herself in to police on Thursday and that she faced charges of being an accessory after the fact to murder and committing an indignity to human remains.
“The investigation is ongoing, and investigators have not ruled out the possibility of future arrests,” police said in a statement posted to social media.
