A fourth person has been charged in connection
with the alleged murder of a woman
whose body was found in a garbage bin in Moncton earlier this year.
Sean Bastarache is accused of being
an accessory after the fact of murder.
The charge is in connection with the death of Melissa Price,
according to Crown Prosecutor Macondre Desjardins.
Price was 39 years old
when her body was found on a residential street in Moncton in February.
Trial dates have already been set in this case
for two people accused of killing Price.
Leandra Beaulieu and Devlin Oblinus are set
to stand trial beginning in May of 2028.
Beaulieu, who's 37, and Oblinus, who's 36,
are jointly charged with second-degree murder.
They're accused of killing Price on February 14th,
the day before her body was found in Moncton.
No details have been disclosed publicly about
the circumstances of her death.
A preliminary inquiry was held in August,
but the details of it are protected under a publication ban.
Another man, Joshua Martin, is also charged
with accessory after the fact and indignity to a human body.
Bastarache did not appear in court Tuesday.
A warrant was issued for him to be present
at his next appearance on November 9th.
