A homicide investigation in Greater Madawaska Township has also led to charges against an individual for a potential threat to a Winnipeg business.
On May 6, the OPP said officers responded to a call for service on Lanark Road where a person was located deceased.
Later that month, police identified the deceased as 61-year-old Geraldine Fulcher of Calabogie, with the death deemed a homicide.
The OPP said while investigating, officers also discovered ties to a potential threat to a Winnipeg business.
On May 12, the OPP informed the Winnipeg Police Service they believed the suspect to be in their area and possibly in possession of a firearm.
The OPP said Winnipeg police located and arrested the accused, and seized a shotgun, ammunition, three jerrycans of gasoline and more.
Winnipeg police charged a 52-year-old from Calabogie with multiple firearm-related offences, and the accused was transferred into OPP custody today, where they were further charged with first degree murder and attempted murder.
The accused remains in custody and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Pembroke later this month.
