THUNDER BAY -- The charge for one suspect in a Canada Day homicide investigation was upgraded to murder Friday.
Carl Spender Rae, 31, and Becky Mamakwa, 21, were both arrested and charged with aggravated assault on July 1 after the alleged robbery and assault of 52-year-old Christopher Adams outside of city hall on the corner of Donald and May Streets.
The victim died on July 8 at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
Rae appeared in person at the Thunder Bay Courthouse on Friday and was arraigned on a second-degree murder charge.
He was remanded to Nov. 14.
Mamakwa was released on bail on Sept. 12 and her lawyer appeared as agent for her Friday. She was remanded to Nov. 10, when it is expected the aggravated assault charge will be withdrawn and she will be arraigned for second-degree murder.
Rae remains in custody.
None of the allegations against either of the suspects have been proven in court.
