As CBC News previously reported, the 52-year-old man died under "suspicious" circumstances in June, sparking an investigation. On Wednesday, police announced a 19-year-old from Welland and a 39-year-old from St. Catharines face second-degree-murder charges.
On Friday, the Niagara Regional Police Service announced second-degree murder charges against a 23-year-old, 29-year-old and 44-year-old from Welland, as well as a 23-year-old from St. Catharines and a 28-year-old from Niagara Falls.
They were scheduled for court on Friday in St. Catharines.
