Investigators arrested and charged the four men on Thursday, February 15, without incident. Charged jointly with one count of first-degree murder are the following individuals:
-Sterling Devon Martin McGilvery (24) of Edmonton;
-Skylar Taurus McGilvery (21) of Edmonton;

All four men are scheduled to appear in Provincial Court in Morinville on Thursday, February 22, 2018 at 9:30 a.m.
