A man and a woman were arrested for the alleged murder of a young boy in Port Alberni more than four years ago.
Mitchell Frank, 29, and Raikel Frank, 28, have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 6-year-old Dontey Lucas, the Port Alberni RCMP reported on Saturday.
Lucas died in 2018.
“These investigations are difficult for all involved and we understand that the time it takes to get to this point is a challenge for the community,” Port Alberni RCMP Insp. Eric Rochet said in a press release.
At around 9:30 a.m. on March 13, 2018, police visited a home in Port Alberni after receiving a report of a six-year-old child in medical difficulty.
The child, later identified as Lucas, was taken to hospital but did not survive.
Shortly afterwards, the RCMP announced that it was treating the death as suspicious.
The RCMP did not provide further details on Saturday, but said a press conference would be held on Monday.
