A Saint John man facing first-degree murder charges in connection with the deaths of two boys found in a north-end apartment last week remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries, police say.
“There is no update on a court appearance at this time,” Staff Sgt. Sarah Hobbs, spokesperson for the Saint John Police Force, said Tuesday.
The 46-year-old accused remains under police custody, she said.
Officers found the victims, aged 10 and 17, while responding to a 911 call to Skaling Court, in Millidgeville, on Jan. 29 around 7 a.m.
The officers, who “immediately forced entry,” also located a 46-year-old man with life-threatening injuries, who was taken into custody, given first aid and transported to hospital.
Police have not released the names of the accused or victims, or disclosed the nature of the relationship between them.
Hobbs declined again Tuesday to discuss how the boys died.
