Two Face First Degree Murder Charges

Two people are due in a Thunder Bay court today to face murder charges.

Joanne Vivier and Michelle Morris are charged with first-degree murder in the death of Verna Patricia Sturgeon.

Officials say the 30-year-old victim was in Thunder Bay last week to testify as a witness in a criminal trial.

Sturgeon of Big Trout Lake First Nation was found dead at a hotel Friday morning.
