A man who was arrested this week after a Canada-wide warrant was issued for his capture has been charged with murder.

The RCMP says Ronald Albert Canuel, 35, is facing two counts of second-degree murder in relation to two homicides in Colchester County.

Canuel, who is from New Brunswick, was arrested on Jan. 8 outside an apartment building in Campbellton, N.B., a small town 180 kilometres north of Miramichi.

Canuel has been brought back to Nova Scotia and will be appearing in Truro Provincial Court.
