An 11-year-old Burnaby boy who was reported missing last year is dead, and two people now face homicide charges in his death, the Vancouver Sun reported.

The boy's remains have been found, according to the Sun's report, published Nov. 2. The two people charged are accused of homicide in connection with his death.

For Burnaby residents and others across Metro Vancouver who followed the search, the charges mark a major development in a case that has now moved from a missing-child report to a homicide prosecution.

Homicide charges are allegations. Anyone charged is presumed innocent unless convicted in court.
