A joint investigation of Onion Lake RCMP and the General Investigation Section (GIS) from North Battleford, Prince Albert and Saskatoon, have made an arrest related to the homicide of Braden Richard Bull, who was found in Onion Lake Cree Nation in January.

The investigation into Bull’s death has taken more than eight months, with officers following up on all information and tips received from the public, as well as conducting several interviews. As a result of this work, police have arrested and charged 24-year-old Vega Bear of Onion Lake with second degree murder.

Officers from the North Battleford and Saskatoon RCMP GIS arrested Bear in Edmonton on September 21, where he was then transported to Lloydminster. Bear will make his first appearance in provincial court in the Border City today. The RCMP Major Crimes Unit – North, North Battleford RCMP’s Forensics Identification Section and the Saskatchewan RCMP polygraph unit also assisted in this case.

The investigation is ongoing.
