Mounties are again asking for the public’s help in solving a double homicide that happened in 2021.

Brent Denechezhe, 31, and Leona Tssessaze, 24, were killed in a house fire in Northland Denesuline First Nation, also known as Lac Brochet, on Sept. 9 of that year. Investigators found their remains at the fire scene.

“We’re bringing attention to this tragic event and renewing calls for information. We believe there are people out there who have valuable information about these murders,” lead investigator Const. David Giroux said in a news release Wednesday.

RCMP are asking anyone with information about the homicides to call a dedicated tip line at 431-489-8112.

“No detail is insignificant,” Giroux said in the release.

“Your contribution could be the key to finding answers for the families and community.”

Investigators have again travelled to the northern Manitoba community, RCMP said.

Police also asked for tips from the public seven months after the fire.
