Police say they’ve charged a fourth person in the death of an Ottawa man who was found severely injured in a Perth, Ont., park earlier this year.

Officers were called to Last Duel Park on April 12 where they found Christo Allison Richards, 34, suffering from life-threatening injuries.

Richards was taken to a trauma centre where he was later pronounced dead.

On Wednesday night, Ontario Provincial Police said they had charged a 32-year-old woman from Ottawa with being an accessory after the fact to murder.

The woman was arrested after OPP and RCMP executed a search warrant at a rural property near Terrace, B.C., and seized two firearms.

She is scheduled to appear in Perth court Friday, OPP said.

2 suspects still wanted

In late April, OPP charged two Ottawa men, 34-year-old Joseph Madore and 28-year-old Brayton Kennedy, with second-degree murder.

Both Kennedy and Madore remain on the loose, OPP said Wednesday night. Madore may be camping in rural B.C., police said, while Kennedy’s whereabouts are unknown.

In May, OPP arrested and charged 46-year-old Michael Lewis with conspiracy to commit murder.
