Fifth person accused of conspiracy to commit murder arrested in Fredericton

Fredericton police have arrested a man charged with conspiracy to commit murder after he failed to appear in court.

The fifth person charged with conspiracy to commit murder has been arrested in Fredericton after allegedly failing to appear in court on Monday.

Fredericton Police Force arrested Nicholas Daniel Bain, 30, on Tuesday.

Bain was on an active warrant of arrest for failing to appear in court for the charges of conspiracy to commit murder.

Bain, along with four other individuals charged with conspiracy to commit murder, were scheduled to appear in court Monday.

Janson Bryan Baker, Jesse Todd Logue, Nicholas Daniel Bain, Christopher Allen Lennon and Monique Alicia Boyer were charged on Nov. 24 with conspiracy to commit the murder of Sylvio Saulnier.

The bodies of Saulnier’s parents – Bernard Saulnier, 78, and Rose-Marie Saulnier, 74 – were found on Sept. 9, 2019, in their home on Amirault Street. Police say their deaths were ruled homicides.

Sylvio Saulnier died in 2023, but foul play was not suspected in his death.

Bain was transferred to the custody of the N.B. RCMP. He will appear in a Moncton provincial court at a later date to face the allegations.
