A 46-month investigation into the death of Dryden’s Henry Stone-Arnold has finally resulted in some arrests.
Provincial Police say three people face charges in relation to the homicide.
Two have been charged with first degree murder and committing indignity to a body.
One other person faces counts of obstructing justice, uttering threats, and accessory after the fact (murder).
At the time of Stone-Arnold’s death, the accused were under the age of 18, so their names can’t be released under terms of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Police believe the three and the victim were known to each other.
28-year-old Henry Stone-Arnold was last seen in Dryden during the evening of August 8, 2018.
His vehicle was found at a private business on Jonasson Road the following day, prompting a missing person’s investigation.
On August 17, human remains were found on a private property on Trist Road.
They were eventually identified as those of Stone-Arnold by the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service in Toronto.
The Government of Ontario offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murder.
OPP say the investigation is ongoing.
Detective Inspector Kevin Veillieux is a Major Case Manager with the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch and says, “For the last 46 months, our investigative team has worked diligently to identify those responsible for Henry’s murder. Although we cannot publicly identify the charged individuals, there is some consolation in being able to bring resolution to Henry’s family and loved ones.”
