Net Tightening Around Suspect In Oland Murder

For the first time in the almost two years since Richard Oland was murdered in his uptown office, Police Chief Bill Reid tells CHSJ News the investigation into the businessman's death is drawing to a close. 

Reid says he believes an arrest will be made by within the year, which is in line with what's been predicted  for some time now.

The chief saying while no new evidence has been found per se, they are taking the file to the provincial Crown by the end of this month. 

Because it's a major file, other Crowns will then be consulted and then a decision on how to move forward delivered to the police force as soon as reasonably possible. Oland was murdered on July 7, 2011.
