THUNDER BAY -- Seven suspects in two separate homicide investigations appeared in court Friday morning.
Five of six people charged with second-degree murder in the violent death of 44-year-old Lloyd Oskineegish on July 18 appeared in person at the Thunder Bay Courthouse.
Larissa Shingabis, 20; Felton Sakanee, 26; Kevin Wabason, 38, Christopher Meeseetawagesic, 25; and Keith Mishenene, 21, were all remanded to Dec. 12.
The sixth suspect James Chapais is scheduled to appear in bail court on Nov. 21.
Police discovered the victim’s burned remains in a wooded area off of Field Street in July. It’s alleged Oskineegish was the victim of a violent assault.
All six accused are in custody.
Two people charged in a Canada Day murder case were also in court Friday and remanded to Dec. 12.
Carl Spencer Rae, 31, and Becky Mamakwa, 22, are both facing second-degree murder charges in connection with the death of 52-year-old Christopher Adams, who was assaulted outside of city hall in the early morning hours of July 1.
Adams died in the hospital on July 8.
At the time of the incident, police said four people were involved and that robbery appeared to be the motive.
On Nov. 10, the police confirmed a third suspect, 26-year-old Kyle Stoney, is being sought under an arrest warrant as the investigation continues.
Rae remains in custody and Mamakwa was released on bail in September.
None of the allegations against any of the accused in either case have been proven in court.
