The provincial RCMP Major Crime Unit has identified the body found on West Lane Wednesday in Moncton, and are investigating it as a homicide.
RCMP say the body is 35-year old Candice Kennedy-Faguy reported missing last Sunday afternoon.
Thursday night, officers arrested a 44-year old Moncton man who appeared in Moncton court Friday afternoon.
Claude Francis Blanchard is facing a charge of first degree murder, and in court, through a lawyer appointed for only this appearance, he said he was looking for legal representation.
He will be back in court October 19th (9:30AM) for the murder charge, but is also going to be in court October 12th (1:30PM) to face another offence for failing to comply with a judicial undertaking.
