UPDATE: Lanark OPP actively searching for male in connection with serious assault

The Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), under direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch, is seeking potential video from the public in relation to last week’s homicide in Carleton Place.

On July 15, 2020, at approximately 4:00 a.m., the OPP was called to a motel on Highway 7 where a male had suffered serious injuries in an assault. The 57-year old male victim was transported to hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Shortly before 1:00 p.m., members with the OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit (TRU) and OPP Emergency Response Team (ERT) arrested the accused without incident.
