Manitoba RCMP have arrested a third individual in relation to the murder of Tamara Benoit, 36, whose remains were found in the RM of Portage in Sept. 2020.

RCMP Major Crime Services investigators arrested a 16-year-old male from Winnipeg and charged him with second degree murder in the homicide of Benoit. Police say this is the same youth who was arrested in January of this year and released without charges, but was 15 at that time. A 37-year-old Long Plain man and a 36-year-old woman with no fixed address were also arrested and charged in relation to Benoit's murder.
