CHARLOTTETOWN -- Three days of stormy weather have delayed the police investigation into the deaths of three teenaged boys whose bodies were found after a weekend fire at an abandoned building in Charlottetown.
Deputy Chief Gary McGuigan of the Charlottetown Police Service says with much of the Island shut down by blizzard-like conditions, investigators have made little progress.
McGuigan also says the investigation will take time because the fire Saturday gutted the old building, leaving a great deal of debris to sift through.
He says police have spoken with some of the teens' friends, but it remains unclear what they were doing in the building or what caused the fire.
Police have identified the three teenagers as 19-year-old Joseph Reeves, 16-year-old Brandon MacKinnon and 15-year-old Kenneth Irving.
Another young male who suffered injuries after the fire was airlifted to a Halifax hospital for treatment.
