(St. John’s, NL), December 22, 2017 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) Major Crime Unit has made an arrest in the Victoria Head Homicide Investigation.
This afternoon, the RNC’s Major Crime Unit arrested a 35 year old St. John’s man for the November 11th murder of 36 year old Victoria Head in St. John’s. The man has been held to appear before a Provincial Court judge on Saturday. Until criminal charges are sworn to at Provincial Court, the identity of any accused person cannot be released.
