Faron Paul Howse, 37, and Brandon Jordan Dumais, 29, were arrested in April and September 2022, respectively, Edmonton Police Service announced on Wednesday.
Both also face charges of accessory after the fact to murder and indignity to a dead body.

He was shot to death, investigators revealed on Wednesday. Previously, the cause of death had not been publicly released for "investigative reasons."
