A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for the arrest of a man in connection with two homicides last month in Nova Scotia’s Colchester County.
RCMP appealed to the public Wednesday for information on the whereabouts of Ronald Albert Canuel.
A news release described Canuel as five feet nine inches and 150 pounds with very short blond hair and blue eyes. He has multiple tattoos on his face and neck.
On Dec. 21, police and EHS responded to a report of a man in medical distress at a home on Vincent Drive in Upper Onslow near Truro. The 25-year-old man from Pictou Landing First Nation was pronounced dead at the scene.
The next morning, Truro police and paramedics responded to a call about a man in distress at a home on Lavinia Drive in Truro. The 27-year-old Truro man was pronounced dead at the scene.
RCMP said in the news release that both men had gone to hospital a few days prior with serious stab wounds.
The Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service later ruled the deaths homicides.
Information on the whereabouts with Canuel can be shared directly with police by calling 911. Anonymous tips can be shared with Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers at at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Police want anyone who sees Canual to refrain from approaching him.
