Charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder were laid yesterday against three men, one from Abbotsford and two from Ontario.

The suspects are 24-year-old Lascel Tyndale of North York, Ontario, 22-year-old Segovia-Sanhueza of Brampton, Ontario; and 25-year-old Terry McDonald of Abbotsford, BC.
