Ten years after Charles Maddison disappeared, RCMP have charged a man with his murder.Michael John Lawrence, 36, faces a count of first-degree murder in the death of Maddison, RCMP announced Friday afternoon.
Lawrence, who is a federal inmate at Springhill Institution, was arrested Tuesday at the prison, the police release states.
They have also charged Leslie Douglas Greenwood, 41 and Curtis Blair Lynds, 34, with being accessories after the fact in the killing.
Maddison was last seen on the morning of Sept. 8, 2000. The 55-year-old Portapique, Colchester County, resident left his home driving his 1989 blue Dodge Dakota truck to attend medical appointments in Halifax. Maddison never made it to those appointments.
His truck was found on Sept. 10, 2000, abandoned in a clearing near Rhines Road in East Hants. It had been burned.
“Mr. Maddison was an innocent victim. He was not involved in any criminal activity and tragically became the target of a senseless crime. We hope this arrest will bring some closure to his family,” RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Brigdit Leger said in a news release.
Lawrence is also charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Nancy Christensen and her husband Kirk Mersereau. Mersereau and Christensen were shot execution-style in their home in Centre Burlington, Hants County. A neighbour discovered their bodies on Sept. 10, 2000.DISCLAIMER:Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text.

In their book The Road to Hell: How the Biker Gangs are Conquering Canada, journalists William Marsden and Julian Sher wrote that Kirk Mersereau had issued a $50,000 contract on the heads of those he held responsible for the murder of his brother Randy.
Randy Mersereau, a founding member of the Halifax chapter of the Hells Angels, left the gang in the 1990s and set up his own drug network. In the book, it’s 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.
