A 51-year-old man from Sussex has been charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of a 54-year-old man in Saint John last spring.
Andrew Alexander Ryder is accused in the killing of Mark Lynch “on or about May 9, 2024,” according to court documents.
Ryder appeared in provincial court Oct. 3, when he was charged and released on conditions.
The Saint John Police Force announced details about the homicide for the first time in a news release Thursday. The delay was due in part to a year-long wait for an autopsy to determine the cause of death, according to Staff Sgt. Shawna Fowler.
The news release said officers responded to a call about a deceased person who was found inside a residence in the 650-block of Brunswick Drive in the city’s centre on May 14, 2024, at around 11 a.m.
“As a result of the postmortem report and the investigation [led] by the Major Crime Unit, it was determined that the death was a homicide and that the victim and suspect were known to each other,” Fowler said in the release.
