A 20-year-old man has been charged in connection with the murder of a Pickering man, whose body was discovered in a wooded area back in January.

Investigators said that the victim, who they identified as 24-year-old Nicholas Samaroo, suffered from obvious signs of trauma.
A suspect turned himself in to officers on Sunday in connection with the incident, police said.
