The RCMP are investigating following what appears to have been a homicide in a small north-eastern Manitoba community earlier this week.
Island Lake RCMP were called to the scene around 10:00am on Monday morning after a body was discovered on the side of a road in Red Sucker Lake.
Officers are treating the death as a homicide after signs of trauma were found on the 37-year-old male victim.
The Major Crime Unit has been called in to assist in the investigation, and the identity of the victim has not yet been released.
