Provincial police say two people have been charged with murder after a dead man was found inside a burned vehicle last month in eastern Ontario.

Police say they were called to a vehicle fire in a wooded area in Mississippi Mills, west of Ottawa, on Sept. 11.

They found the body of 37-year-old Colin Campbell inside.

Police say they eventually tracked down two suspects in Regina, Sask., where they were arrested on Wednesday.

A 37-year-old and a 33-year-old from Arnprior, Ont., were each charged with second-degree murder and indignity to a dead body.

Police say both accused remain in custody.
