A Sackville man has been charged with first degree murder.

RCMP went to a residence on King Street for a wellbeing check yesterday, and found a woman’s body.

The New Brunswick Major Crimes Unit determined her death was a homicide.

In Antigonish, Nova Scotia later in the afternoon, a 62-year old man turned himself into police.

He was taken into custody, and ordered to undergo a 30-day psychiatric assessment.

He’ll be back in court next month in Moncton.
