Two Edmonton residents have been charged in connection to the January 2017 killing of Christopher O’Reilly in Warburg.

Candice Hunt, 33, and James Wigmore, 36, were arrested Friday and remanded into custody, Thorsby RCMP said in a news release Monday.

Hunt is charged with manslaughter, robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery. Wigmore is facing a conspiracy to commit robbery charge.

RCMP responded to an injured man in the village southwest of Edmonton on Jan. 29, 2017, and O’Reilly was transported to a Leduc hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Gerald Peter Krahn, 29, from Grande Prairie was previously arrested in February 2017 for second-degree murder in Edmonton following an RCMP search.

Hunt and Wigmore are scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
