FREDERICTON — Saint John police Chief Bruce Connell says the Richard Oland murder case is no longer an active investigation.
The statement today is the first from the police force since last month’s acquittal of Dennis Oland in the case and comes a day after New Brunswick’s Public Prosecution Services announced the verdict will not be appealed.
Dennis Oland was charged with second-degree murder in the 2011 bludgeoning of his multi-millionaire father in Saint John.
In his July 19 decision, Justice Terrence Morrison of the New Brunswick Court of Queen’s Bench said Crown prosecutors failed to prove their case against Oland.
