Police have charged two Mack Pond residents in connection with the death of 35-year-old Sheldon Dias following a violent incident in the All Saints community last week.

29-nine-year-old Kyle Taylor and 30-year-old Candace Sawyers, both of Mack Pond, were formally arrested and jointly charged with murder on Monday.

The charges relate to an incident that occurred on Friday, June 5, during which Dias, who was also a resident of Mack Pond, sustained multiple injuries during an alleged altercation.

Dias later succumbed to his injuries, prompting a police investigation that resulted in the arrest of the two suspects.

Taylor and Sawyers are expected to make their first court appearance sometime this week.

Police have not yet released further details surrounding the circumstances of the incident as investigations continue.
