Halifax Police Press Murder Charges in Dartmouth Murder, Warrant Issued Across Canada | The Canadian News

Halifax police have issued a murder charge in the murder of Alexander Joseph Frederick Thomas, 35.

Halifax Regional Police say 27-year-old Tyreece Alexander Whynder-Ewing has been charged with second-degree murder and has obtained an arrest warrant across Canada.

Public Information Officer Cst. John MacLeod said Thursday that police cannot get to the details of what Thomas and Whynder-Ewing’s relationship was, but that the two individuals knew each other.

Early Saturday, police found Thomas’s body at a residence on Braeside Court in Dartmouth, NS and later ruled his death a homicide.

Thomas was previously charged with a high-profile sexual assault, facing charges of sexual assault and forcible confinement in connection with an incident that occurred in 2018. Those have now been dropped.

Carrie Low, who identified herself as the plaintiff in the sexual assault case, had been outspoken about the incident and how she said Halifax police mishandled the case.

Const. The media asked John MacLeod if there was a connection between the defendant and Low, MacLeod replied that the police are “here to talk about the homicide.”

“What I can tell you is that the sexual assault investigation is ongoing and we are investigating that matter further,” he said.

Police say investigators do not believe the killing was random and that they are not looking for other suspects.

Anyone with information on Whynder-Ewing should call the police.
