Police confirmed today that human remains found at a property on Hiram Lynds Road in North River, Colchester County are those of former Hells Angel Randy Mersereau.
RCMP also announced this morning that they have arrested another person in connection with the decades-old murders of two men and a woman.
Curtis Blair Lynds, 34, was taken into custody at a federal government office in Truro on Friday morning, according to an RCMP news release Monday morning.
He is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Nancy Christensen and Kirk Mersereau, and being an accessory after the fact in the death of Mersereau's brother Randy.
He will appear in court in Truro this morning to face the charges.
The remains were found Dec. 5 during a search of the property by RCMP. Police are not releasing the cause of death.
Randy Mersereau, was founding member of the Halifax chapter of the Hells Angels. He left the gang in the 1990s and set up his own drug network.
In the book The Road to Hell: How the Biker Gangs are Conquering Canada, journalists William Marsden and Julian Sher suggested that he hooked up with a rival biker gang, the Bandidos, and it was rumoured that he had put a contract out on David (Wolf) Carroll and Maurice (Mom) Boucher of the Hells Angels’ elite Nomads branch and Halifax Hells Angel Michael McCrea.
On Sept. 23, 1999, a bomb exploded at a Bible Hill car dealership, injuring several people. Randy Mersereau escaped with his life, but his luck wouldn’t last long. He disappeared on Oct. 31, 1999, and police uncovered human remains believed to be Mersereau’s last Sunday in a wooded area off Hiram Lynds Road in North River, Colchester County.
Biker informant Dany Kane, now dead, told investigators that the biker gang had Randy Mersereau shot and buried him with the gun used to kill him.
