Ontario Provincial Police say they received call for help from residents in the park Tuesday morning
A 37-year-old man from Fort Frances, Ont. has been charged with two counts of second degree murder in the deaths of two people at a home in the town's Lakeview Trailer Park.
Tyler John Cousineau has been charged in the deaths of Lovern Affleck, 77, and Carol Affleck, 66, both of Fort Frances, according to Ontario Provincial Police.
Officers from the Rainy River District detachment responded to a call for assistance at a residence in the park Tuesday morning, OPP stated in a written release later that evening.
Police arriving on-scene found two bodies — a man and a woman — in the home, the OPP confirmed Wednesday.
The area was under a lockdown for about 12 hours Tuesday while police investigated, meaning area residents were told to leave their homes. People were able to return to their homes late in the day, police said.
Police said Wednesday afternoon that they continue to investigate and that a tip line has been established.
Anyone with information is being asked to call 1-844-677-5040.
