Police have arrested and charged two Trent Hills residents with second-degree murder in the death of 59-year-old John Wesley of Campbellford.
On March 27th, Northumberland OPP responded to a call at a residence in Campbellford. Upon arriving, they learned Wesley had been transported to hospital where he subsequently died.
After a post-mortem examination of Wesley’s body in Toronto, police began investigating the death as suspicious.
On Tuesday (April 13), police arrested and charged Chad Everett and Nancy Gullage, both 41 years old and both of Trent Hills, with second-degree murder.
Everett was also charged with failing to comply with a probation order and failing to comply with conditions of a previous release order.
Both Everett and Gullage appeared in the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on Wednesday and were remanded into custody.
On November 5, 2020, Wesley himself was arrested as the result of a drug trafficking investigation.
He was charged with possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking (cocaine), knowledge of unauthorized possession of firearm, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, two counts of possession of firearm or ammunition contrary to prohibition order, and unauthorized possession of a weapon.
