Charles died Friday following an incident at Rivercrest Apartments in downtown Prince Albert.

All have been remanded to stay in custody until their next court appearance April 8.

Police say the investigation is ongoing but the incident is not related to the death of a toddler that took place in the same apartment building just a couple days earlier. A 29-year-old man was charged with second-degree murder in connection with the 21-month-old child’s death.
