Two Chatham men face first-degree murder charges in connection with the death of a woman in Chatham.
According to Chatham-Kent police, officers began investigating on June 4. As of 3:40 p.m. that same day, they had arrested two men.
Both men, aged 44 and 59, appeared in court on Wednesday to answer to the charges.
A day later, police opted to release the information to the public.
They are due back in court on June 19.
Without providing further details, police say they consider this an isolated incident with no threat to public safety.
To preserve the integrity of this on-going investigation, police say limited information will be provided at this time.
However, anyone having information relevant to this matter is asked to contact Sgt. Cole Abbott at 519-436-6600 ext. 80262 or [email protected]. You can provide information anonymously by submitting a tip through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
No word on where the murder took place, or when, or how.
In fact, the media release on Chief Gary Conn’s retirement, announced the same day, was 10 times longer than the information contained in the police media release on the murder.
