Manitoba RCMP have announced that three men have been arrested and charged in the death of 40-year-old Melinda Lynxleg.
Lynxleg, from Tootinaowaziibeeng Treaty Reserve, was reported missing by her sister on April 16, 2020. Melinda’s body was later located on June 7, 2023, at an abandoned property in San Clara, Manitoba.
A media release said today, “Between October 14, 2025, and October 16, 2025, Manitoba RCMP Major Crime Services arrested three individuals, all known to Melinda, at their residences without incident:
- Kirk Kenneth Allarie, 42, from Roblin
- Myles Malcolm Allarie, 38, from Russell
- Billy Jay Lynxleg, 46, from Valley River First Nation
All men have been remanded and charged with the following:
- Second degree murder
- Offer indignity to human remains
They will remain in custody until a future court date.”
RCMP Major Crime Services would like to thank community members and numerous others who came forward with information that was valuable to the investigation. Over 150 statements were taken by police throughout the investigation who logged thousands of hours going through evidence to finally make some arrests.
“The last five years has been very tough for our family, it’s been a nightmare,” said Sharon Lynxleg, Melinda’s mother. “These arrests will not bring Melinda back, but it goes a long way towards helping us heal. We are grateful the RCMP continued to look for the persons responsible for her death and brought them to justice.”
