Remains are those of Melissa Peacock: police

Melissa Dawn Peacock of Dartmouth, N.S. was reported missing Nov. 7, 2011. Her remains were found Jul. 3, 2012 in Upper Stewiacke, N.S.

RCMP in Nova Scotia say remains found Tuesday in Upper Stewiacke are those of Melissa Dawn Peacock.

Police say the province's medical examiner made the identification through the use of dental records.

The 20-year-old woman left her Dartmouth home on Nov. 7 and was reported missing two days later when she failed to return.

Police arrested two men Tuesday afternoon, shortly after they found Peacock’s body.

Dustan Joseph Preeper, 24, of Halifax and his brother, Joshua Michael Preeper, 20, of Kennetcook, N.S. have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death.

They are due to appear in court in Aug. and September.
