Murder charges laid in connection to suspicious death

December 11, 2023

A 29-year-old Grande Prairie man is facing first-degree murder charges in connection to a body found near Westside Park earlier this month.

The body was discovered on December 4th, and was initially deemed as a suspicious death. However, police say, the victim, identified as 34-year-old Brian Buchaski, was deemed to be the victim of a homicide.

29-year-old Nathan Landry has been remanded in custody following his arrest and will next appear in court on January 8th, 2024.

Despite charges being laid, Mounties say the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Grande Prairie RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers if they wish to remain anonymous.
