Nova Scotia RCMP say they ve recovered human remains that may be connected to a woman who disappeared from Eastern Passage nearly 22 years ago, and the woman s brother says he s greatly relieved to finally have a sense of closure in the case. I can t describe how good that closure feels, says Troy McLean from his home in Dieppe, N.B. To get that behind me. Arlene McLean was 28 when she vanished on Sept. 8, 1999. She told her common-law husband she was stepping out around 8:30 p.m., and that she wouldn t be gone long. She took the family car, a 1993 green Elantra, and both vanished without a trace.

A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge has handed a six-year sentence to a Halifax man after a fatal altercation nearly four years ago, saying the 55-year-old s alcoholism fuels violent and out-of-control behaviour.
Troy Edward William Clayton pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of Benjamin Lokeny, an acquaintance who died in 2017 after being punched and striking his head on a concrete sidewalk. The problem is that [Clayton] has a disease alcoholism, Associate Chief Justice Patrick Duncan said Friday as he read from his sentencing decision. It contributes to his violent behaviour.
