A 34-year-old woman has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Christopher Dedam on the Esgenoôpetitj First Nation.
Nikita Dedam was charged in Miramichi Provincial Court on Thursday.
She remains in custody and is scheduled to return to court on April 13.
Last August, RCMP were called to a home on Micmac Road for a man who was found unresponsive.
Police found a deceased 34-year-old man when they arrived.
An investigation later determined the man’s death was the result of homicide.
A woman from Esgenoôpetitj First Nation was arrested the next day in relation to the incident and she was held in custody for an unrelated matter.
