Ross, Charles, Isbister, Halkett and the female youth were arrested between July 24 and July 26 but the male youth has not been found. An arrest warrant has been issued but he cannot be identified because he is under the age of 18.

All charged individuals will appear in La Ronge Provincial Court on July 28.

The charges stem from an incident on July 21 when La Ronge RCMP was called to a house just after 3:00 am.

They found Ratt injured in the home on Jack Bell Place. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
