Regina police investigating death near Grand Coulee as homicide
Regina police are now treating a death investigation as a homicide — after the body of a man was found near Grand Coulee last week.
On June 10, RCMP officers were called to a rural area west of Regina, near the community of Grand Coulee, after a body was discovered.
He has been identified as 35-year-old Aron Lunan of Regina.
Through an investigation, police believe that the crime originated within the city. As a result, the Regina Police Service's major crimes unit has taken over the investigation.
RCMP initially reported that Lunan was last seen in North Central Regina.
Investigators urge anyone who had been in contact with Lunan between the afternoon of Monday, June 9 and Tuesday, June 10 to contact police or submit an anonymous tip to Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.
Grand Coulee is located approximately 12 kilometres west of Regina.

3-year-old drowns at Long Sault, Ont. beach: OPP
An Ontario Provincial Police crest is pictured on an officer's uniform. (Supplied) Police say a three-year-old child died after drowning at an eastern Ontario beach Saturday afternoon. Ontario Provincial Police say emergency services responded to Mille Roches Beach in Long Sault, Ont. at approximately 5:45 p.m. A caller told police that a child had no vital signs and that off-duty medical professionals were conducting resuscitation efforts. Cornwall paramedics rushed the child to hospital under a police escort as efforts to revive the child continued, OPP said in a news release Sunday. The child was later pronounced dead, police say. Their identity is not being released. The St. Lawrence Parks Commission website says Mille Roches Beach remains closed until further notice. Woodlands Beach remains open. It's the latest in a string of deadly incidents on eastern Ontario waters this summer. On Thursday, a three-year-old child drowned at Sandbanks Provincial Park in Prince Edward County. Last weekend, OPP reported two incidents on East Lake in Prince Edward County and one on the St. Lawrence River near Ganonoque. OPP reported earlier this week that it had already responded to double the number of drowning deaths it saw at this time last year in eastern Ontario. There have been two reported drownings in Ottawa so far this summer.

Grande Prairie residents charged after RCMP seize drugs, weapons, contraband cigarettes
Two people have been charged after Grande Prairie RCMP executed a search warrant that led to the seizure of drugs, weapons and contraband cigarettes from a residence. On July 17, officers executed the warrant at a duplex in Scenic Ridge in Grande Prairie, where they seized 900 grams of suspected cocaine, 100 grams of suspected mushrooms, 11 firearms (including three prohibited firearms that were loaded), over 15,000 rounds of ammunition, four prohibited devices, 16,000 contraband cigarettes and materials consistent with drug trafficking. A 50 year old man and a 36 year old woman, both residents of Grande Prairie face a total of 17 charges including two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance, possession of stolen property, careless use or storage of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm and fraud. Following a bail hearing, both were released on conditions. They're scheduled to appear in court in Grande Prairie on July 28. 'The combination of drugs and firearms is a bad mix for any community," said Cst. Satbir Sall in a media release. 'We are thankful that as a result of this investigation, those drugs are firearms are no longer on the streets of Grande Prairie. 'Grande Prairie RCMP remains fully committed in building safer communities by working in partnership with our community, as well as through investigative and enforcement efforts, to achieve this goal.'
