RCMP say they have charged three people in connection with a Friday homicide in northern Saskatchewan.

La Ronge RCMP were called around 6:30 a.m. Friday to a home on Otter Street in the village of Air Ronge, where they found an injured man. He was taken to hospital, where he was declared dead.

They've now identified the victim as 28-year-old Andy McKenzie, from the La Ronge area.

Officers arrested three people later that day, all from the La Ronge area, RCMP said in a news release.

Andree McKenzie, 20, is charged with second-degree murder, while Alisha McKenzie, 26, and Sarah Isbester, 33, are both charged with manslaughter.

All three are scheduled to appear in La Ronge provincial court on Sept. 3.

Air Ronge is about 350 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, and is part of the tri-community area along with the town of La Ronge and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band.
