A 27-year-old man has been charged in the double-homicide of Rose-Marie and Bernard Saulnier, who were killed in their Dieppe home in 2019.
A 27-year-old man has been charged in the double-homicide of Rose-Marie and Bernard Saulnier on the four-year anniversary of their deaths.
Janson Bryan Baker from Moncton was charged Thursday with two counts of first degree murder. The bodies of 78-year-old Bernard and 74-year-old Rose-Marie were found inside their home on Amirault Street just after noon on Sept. 7, 2019.
New Brunswick RCMP staff Sgt. Jean-Marc Paré, with the major crime unit, said Thursday the four-year investigation has been “exceptionally complex.”
“This was a terrible crime against two well-loved people,” Paré said during a media conference.
"Since that time, our investigators have been persistent in bringing those responsible to justice.”
Paré declined to comment on the possible motive for the homicides, citing the ongoing investigation.
Baker’s address is listed as the Atlantic Institution, which is a federal corrections facility in Renous, N.B., where police said he is in custody due to pending court proceedings for several unrelated charges.
