RCMP arrest 2 in death of homeless man found in burnt bus shelter

RCMP have arrested two people as part of the investigation into the death of homeless man Harley Lawrence in Berwick, N.S., in October.

The 62-year-old's body was found in a burning bus shelter at about 2 a.m. last Oct. 23.

The two under arrest were being interviewed by police Friday morning. One was arrested around midnight in Berwick, the other in the Halifax region around 1:20 a.m.

Police have long considered the bus shelter fire and Lawrence's death to be suspicious. However, RCMP have been tight-lipped about the investigation.

Many people in the Annapolis Valley town believe it's a homicide.

Two overnight workers who deliver newspapers in the area discovered the fire at the bus shelter and called the fire department. Lawrence was found dead inside.

About 20 minutes earlier, the witnesses said they saw two people filling up a jug with gasoline at a nearby gas station. Police have not commented on whether this is significant.

The cause of death has not been released, and Nova Scotia's chief medical examiner told CBC News in February that determining an official cause of death in a fire can be complicated.

Lawrence grew up in Nova Scotia. His brother has said Lawrence began drifting away in his mid-20s, became paranoid and refused help from family.

Lawrence had been living in Berwick for a few months before his death and locals said he slept in the bus shelter each night.
