Charges Laid in Relation to Homicide Investigation at 446 King Street

On Friday, January 6, 2017, at approximately 5:10 p.m. members of the London Police Service responded to a report of a person in medical distress at 446 King Street, and located an injured male at that address. The male, 24 year old Matthew Perry of London, was transported to hospital where he was later pronounced deceased. The London Police Major Crime Section continued to investigate.
