CHIPMAN, N.B. – A 42-year-old New Brunswick man has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder after two bodies were found in a burned vehicle northeast of Fredericton in November.

RCMP say that on Nov. 25 officers responded to a report of a vehicle fire off Midland Road in the town of Chipman.

A police spokesman said at the time that officers discovered the two bodies in a burned white Chevrolet Equinox, and determined the deaths were homicides.
