A Saint John man is facing first-degree murder charges after two boys were found dead inside a residence in the city’s north end Wednesday morning, police say.
Officers responding to a 911 call in Millidgeville around 7 a.m. “immediately forced entry” and located the victims, aged 10 and 17, Staff Sgt. Sarah Hobbs told reporters Thursday.
Police also found a 46-year-old man with life-threatening injuries in the Skaling Court residence. He was taken into custody, given first aid and transported to hospital.
The accused was known to the victims, said Hobbs. But she declined to release the nature of the relationship between them, or even between the victims, in order to protect the identity of the victims.
She also declined to reveal how the boys died or whether the accused’s injuries were self-inflicted, citing the integrity of the investigation and pending court proceedings.
