Two people on the run wanted in connection with the death of an Ottawa man were last seen on opposite coasts of the country.<\/p>\n

Provincial police have a Canada-wide warrant out for the arrest of two men <\/a>charged with the second-degree murder of Christo Allison Richards<\/a>. The 34-year-old was found with life-threatening injuries in Last Duel Park, in Perth, Ont.,<\/a> west of the nation\u2019s capital, on April 12. <\/p>\n

He was rushed to hospital, where he later died. <\/p>\n

Police laid charges against Michael Lewis, 46, of Perth, with conspiracy to commit murder\u00a0and Lyna Du, 32, in Ottawa, with accessory after the fact to murder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two other people have been evading police for three months. Officers have been trying to track them down, and they now believe they were spotted in other provinces.<\/p>\n

Officials currently believe\u00a0one of their suspects, Joseph Madore, 34, is currently in B.C.<\/a> and may be travelling through or camping in remote backcountry areas. They say he has connections to Richmond, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Terrace.<\/p>\n

The second wanted man, Brayton Kennedy, 28, was last seen in the Moncton, N.B., area. His whereabouts are currently unknown.<\/p>\n

Police are asking anyone that has seen them or knows where they are to call 911 and not approach them. <\/p>\n

Members of the OPP worked with the RCMP to search a rural property near Terrace, B.C., that is connected to the case in Perth. Two firearms were seized.<\/p>\n
