A charge of first degree murder was laid against 32-year old William David White in connection with the death of 59-year-old Mary Claire Scott.
RCMP have been investigating the death since the evening of November 30 after family members contacted police concerned they had not heard from Scott in several days. Investigators were following a variety of tips which lead them to Bible Hill, N.S., where White was arrested without incident on December 10th. White was living in the Scott residence prior to November 30th.
Mr. White is expected to appear in St. Stephen Provincial Court later this afternoon. He is currently being escorted to St. Stephen from Nova Scotia.
