Three Tilbury residents have been charged with first-degree murder after a body was discovered at the side of the road in Dover Township.

The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers were called to an area of Townline Road north of Maple Line on Friday at around 11 a.m. after the body of a man was located on the roadside.

The victim has been identified as 55-year-old Henry Neudorf of Tilbury.

Following an investigation, police arrested three Tilbury residents on Sunday and Monday. David Trealout, 34, Kimberly Price, 52, and Darin Noland, 61, have been charged with one count each of first-degree murder in connection with the death.

The accused appeared in court on Monday and all three have been remanded into custody with court dates next week.
