On June 10 RCMP were called to a rural area near Grand Coulee, just west of Regina, for the report of a deceased person, later identified as Lunan.

Throughout the investigation police discovered that the case originated in Regina, which resulted in Regina police taking over the investigation from RCMP.

Akapew and Edwards are scheduled to make their first court appearances Friday morning in Regina, police said.

Grand Coulee is about 17 kilometres west of Regina.
