RCMP said they have made an arrest following the death of a 50-year-old man in Montreal Lake Cree Nation last week.

On May 2, police said that Keith Stewart was found lying on a road in the community.

Stewart was receiving medical assistance when officers arrived but was soon after declared deceased on the scene.

As a result of the ongoing investigation, a youth female under the age of 16 from Montreal Lake Cree Nation has been charged with second-degree murder.

She is scheduled to make her next court appearance on Friday. The youth cannot be identified in accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes Unit continues investigating Stewart’s death and is asking anyone with information to call RCMP at 310-RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
