Police to give update on teen charged in homicide in Brockville, Ont.
Written by The Canadian Press on May 8, 2026
BROCKVILLE — Police in eastern Ontario say they will provide an update this afternoon on a triple murder in Brockville, Ont.
They say a teen is facing first-degree murder charges after three people were found dead inside a home.
Officers say they responded to a home on Cartier Court in the border city’s north end and deemed the deaths suspicious.
Investigators later received information that led them to the city’s outskirts, where a 17-year-old was arrested.
They say the accused has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder as well as assaulting a police officer.
Police say the teen and the victims knew one another and the killings do not appear to be random.
The accused is scheduled to appear in court Friday for a bail hearing.
“This investigation is sensitive and complex. We recognize the profound impact this incident has on the families, loved ones and the community,” police said in a post on social media Thursday.
“We respectfully ask for the public’s patience as investigators continue their work, and we encourage empathy for those most directly impacted.”
Brockville sits along the Canada-U.S. border between Ontario and New York state.
