Mounties charge man with murder of Manitoba woman found dead last fall

The remains of Tamara (Norman) Benoit, 36, were discovered in the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie, west of Winnipeg, on Sept. 3. She had been reported missing to Winnipeg police on July 10.
Mounties said the woman was last seen in the area of Portage la Prairie and Long Plain First Nation on May 23.
Ryan Peters, 37, of Long Plain First Nation was charged Wednesday with second-degree murder.
RCMP said in a release that a 15-year-old boy from Winnipeg was also arrested this week but released without charges, although further arrests in the case are "anticipated."
Police said Benoit was a much-loved mother, sister, daughter and friend. She had been researching her Metis background and family history before she died.
