Two men have been charged with first-degree in connection with the death of 34-year-old Stéphane Levesque of Campbellton, who police say was “violently assaulted.”

Jean-Yves Landry, 41, and Yannick Landry, 19, of Campbellton were arrested Thursday. A third man arrested in connection with Levesque’s death was questioned, but has since been released.

New Brunswick RCMP responded to a report of a badly-injured man in a residential area near Dover Street around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The man sustained life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to the Moncton Hospital. He succumbed to his injuries later that day.

Both men remain in custody and will appear in Campbellton provincial court Monday at 9:30 a.m.
