Two bodies, believed to be two teens from Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, wanted in connection with three homicides last month in Northern B.C. have been found in northern Manitoba.

That’s according to the RCMP who held a news conference Wednesday afternoon.

Police say the bodies were found Wednesday morning in thick bush near the shoreline of the Nelson River.

19-year-old Kam McLeod, and 18-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky, were facing second-degree murder charges in the death of a Vancouver man.

They were also suspects in the shooting deaths of an American woman and her Australian boyfriend whose bodies were found near Liard Hot Springs, not that far from the B.C.-Northwest Territories boundary.

RCMP had said Tuesday they found several items linked to the two suspects near the river.

They say the bodies were found within a kilometre from those items.

There’s no word yet on a cause of their deaths.
