An assault on the Red Earth First Nation near Carrot River last month has now turned into a murder.
The victim, 22-year-old Alyssa Nawakayas, died in hospital on April 29, five days after being assaulted.
The accused, 24-year-old Caleb Head, is now facing a charge of second-degree murder. He was expected to appear in Nipawin court on Wednesday morning.
The RCMP had previously put out a warrant for his arrest.
Both the victim and the accused are from the Red Earth First Nation.
