A 57-year-old man is charged in connection with the murder of another man whose body was found in a field near Napanee earlier this month.

The remains of Ronald Trebilcock, 48, were discovered near Highway 401 in Tyendinaga Township on Oct. 16.

Friends and colleagues reported the Clearview Township man missing in early September, after they hadn't seen or heard from him for five days.

Police have charged James Wayne Elder, of Creemore, Ont., with accessory after the fact to murder and committing an indignity to a dead body.

Anyone with information about Trebilcock's murder or disappearance is asked to contact police at 613-354-3369 or 705-429-3575.
