More than three months after the disappearance of Langley, B.C., schoolteacher Naomi Onotera, her husband has been charged with manslaughter and indignity to human remains.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced Saturday morning that the search for Onotera has ended in tragedy.

"I can confirm that we've located human remains of Ms. Onotera," Sgt. David Lee told reporters. "Those searches are ongoing – we still have several places to search and witnesses to interview."

Two criminal counts have been approved against the deceased's husband, 49-year-old Obnes Regis, who was arrested on Friday and remains in custody.

The update follows one day after authorities launched a new search at the couple's home. Investigators could be seen entering and leaving the residence in full forensics gear, sometimes carrying plastic evidence bags.

Police said the suspect was not arrested at the property, but have not provided further details.

"We understand the community has been anxious," Lee said. "We hope this arrest provides some answers and assuages some fears."
