Man charged after body found in charred truck

Police have charged a man with second degree-murder after a body was found in a charred truck in Carman earlier this week. 

At around 1:15 a.m. Monday, police were called to a truck fire at a self-storage compound on 2nd Street Northeast, finding a 55-year-old dead man inside, said an RCMP news release. 

The death was ruled a homicide after an autopsy.

On Wednesday, RCMP said they arrested two people, a 44-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman in relation to the death. 

Gordon Blaine McTaggart, of Killarney, is now charged with second degree murder and the woman was released without charges. 

The victim’s identity has not been released and RCMP major crimes are investigating.
