OPP have upgraded a charge against a 28-year-old Sabaskong man.
Larry “Junior” Melvin Duck has been charged with murder in connection with a May 2019 incident.
That’s when the body of 42-year-old Clayton Bob of Big Island First Nation was found alongside a road at Onagaming First Nation.
Duck was initially charged with aggravated assault and released with conditions.
But when he failed to comply with those conditions last October, a warrant was issued for his arrest.
He was eventually arrested Sunday.
His original charge was also upgraded based on the findings of a post-mortem exam completed earlier this month in Toronto.
The cause of death was not released.
Duck remains in custody following a court hearing yesterday in Kenora.
