RIVERS – A Manitoba teenager who allegedly plotted simultaneous attacks on schools in two provinces with another teen from Nova Scotia is facing more charges.
Manitoba RCMP say the 14-year-old boy from Rivers, Man., was charged on Wednesday with conspiracy to commit murder, counselling the offence of murder and two counts of uttering threats.
The boy was initially charged in March with uttering threats, after police in Canada received information from Interpol and the FBI that the two teens had been talking online about their desire to attack schools in Rivers and Bridgewater, N.S.
At the time, police in Manitoba seized the boy’s phone and other electronic devices and said additional charges could be laid as the investigation continued.
The boy was rearrested at the Manitoba Youth Centre and his next court appearance is scheduled for next month in Brandon.
The 15-year-old youth in Nova Scotia is facing charges that include conspiracy to commit murder and uttering threats.
