Police have arrested a man in relation to the homicide of Alexander Joseph Frederick Thomas that occurred last weekend in Dartmouth.
On November 13 at approximately 1:45 a.m. Halifax Regional Police responded to a report of an unresponsive man in a dwelling on Braeside Court in Dartmouth. Responding officers located a deceased man inside. The Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service conducted an autopsy and ruled the manner of death to be a homicide.
Yesterday, police laid charges of second-degree murder against Tyreece Alexander Whynder-Ewing, 27, and obtained a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest.
At approximately 3 p.m. EST the accused turned himself into Investigators from the Special Investigation Section and was arrested in Toronto, Ontario with the assistance of the Peel Regional Police. He is currently in custody in Ontario and will be returned to Nova Scotia to appear in Halifax Provincial Court at a later date.
