THUNDER BAY - Police have arrested one suspect in connection to the death of 40-year-old Lee Chiodo and are looking for two more suspects wanted for first-degree murder and kidnapping.

David Hui, 27, of Thunder Bay was arrested Saturday evening by Thunder Bay Police and charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping.

Police said in a media release issued Sunday afternoon that two suspects remain at large and are wanted for charges of first-degree murder and kidnapping.

The wanted suspects have been identified as 27-year-old Marshall Hardy-Fox of Thunder Bay and 27-year-old Musab Khamis Saboon of Kitchener, Ont.
