Three people now facing first-degree murder charges in connection to Regina homicide
Regina police have charged two more people with first-degree murder in connection to the death of 35-year-old Aron Lunan, whose body was found near Grand Coulee in June.
Thirty-year-old Patrick Akapew and 38-year-old Tyler Wayne Edwards were both arrested and charged on Thursday, Regina police said in a news release.
Twenty-four-year-old Britain Volk was charged with first-degree murder earlier this week.
On June 10 RCMP were called to a rural area near Grand Coulee, just west of Regina, for the report of a deceased person, later identified as Lunan.
Throughout the investigation police discovered that the case originated in Regina, which resulted in Regina police taking over the investigation from RCMP.
Akapew and Edwards are scheduled to make their first court appearances Friday morning in Regina, police said.
Grand Coulee is about 17 kilometres west of Regina.

Northern Ont. spotcheck finds unaccompanied G1 driver, unsecured toddler, cannabis
Ontario Provincial Police roadside spotcheck in Dryden, Ont., found a toddler not in a car seat on July 1, 2025. (Ontario Provincial Police/Facebook) A 25-year-old woman faces multiple charges after an Ontario Provincial Police roadside spotcheck in northwestern Ontario found a toddler not in a car seat and cannabis accessible to the driver. The traffic stop occurred around 4 p.m. on Canada Day on Sandy Beach Road in Dryden. Officers discovered the woman only had a G1 licence and was driving without a qualified accompanying driver – a breach of provincial licencing rules. A two-year-old child in the vehicle was not in a car seat, police said. 'The OPP reminds all motorists that responsibility behind the wheel includes protecting your passengers – especially the smallest ones,' OPP Const. Chris Chevrier said in a social media post on Tuesday. The driver was charged under the Highway Traffic Act for driving unaccompanied as a G1 licence holder, carrying a front-seat passenger and failing to secure a child properly. An additional charge under the Cannabis Control Act was laid for having cannabis readily accessible while driving. The vehicle was not impounded, but police waited for the registered owner to arrive with a car seat for the child and to assume driving duties. 'Our priority was ensuring the toddler's safety,' Chevrier told CTV News in an email Thursday evening, noting the child was released to appropriate care. OPP are reminding the public that RIDE programs aim to enforce road safety laws to protect everyone – including vulnerable passengers.
