Police ask for help to find suspected killers

Police are asking the public for help to find three people accused in the slaying of a 21-year-old Leaf Rapids man.

Warrants were issued Monday for the arrests of Eternity Chastelaine, 19, and a 17-year-old boy, RCMP said in a Thursday news release. They face charges of manslaughter and second-degree murder respectively.

A third warrant was issued Tuesday for the arrest of Marshall Merasty, 24, who faces a charge of second-degree murder.

Police previously stated officers were called to “an open area” near Princeton Drive in Thompson on May 20 at 2:20 a.m. for a report of a stabbing.

The victim was taken to hospital and later died of his injuries.

RCMP released photos earlier this week asking the public to help identify a person of interest in relation to the slaying.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the three accused are asked to call Thompson RCMP at 204-677-6909/6911, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or provide a tip online at manitobacrimestoppers.com.
