The RCMP said on Friday that James Busch and Zachary Armitage have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Martin Payne, whose body was found in his home on July 12 last year.

In a sentencing decision following the escape, provincial court Judge Roger Cutler says Armitage had served eight years of a 14-year sentence when he fled the prison.On July 7, during a walk by the water, the two prisoners decided to escape by walking along the shoreline of the ocean-front facility during low tide, the decision says.Article content continued

Cutler says he reviewed an internal Correctional Service Canada report provided by the Crown recommending the override because Armitage had made positive efforts and progress to rehabilitate himself. His case management team did not believe he posed a risk of escape, Cutler says.

The Correctional Service said in a statement Tuesday the investigation is in its final stages and all minimum-security inmates have had their security levels reviewed.

I'm afraid Mr Mayor is on the wrong side of history at the moment.

I feel it's racist to insinuate this black guy committed a crime when it was obviously the white guy. Been watching CNN all day..... I feel like I'm getting better at this stuff.

Empty the prisons, get rid of police, fire all white people.

I'm surprised he's not asking for the police to be defunded
