Robert Keith Major, 53, lived in the same apartment complex as the victims, police say

A convicted sex offender has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of a 24-year-old Hinton woman and her 16-month-old toddler, RCMP say.

Robert Keith Major, 53, has also been charged with one count of indignity to human remains, Alberta RCMP said in a news release on Saturday.

Mounties in Hinton were investigating the double homicide after a report was filed Thursday evening about the missing woman and her child.

The bodies of both were later found in the Hinton area, police said Friday.

The town is located about 285 kilometers west of Edmonton...

...RCMP have confirmed that Major is a convicted sex offender and was the subject of a public warning when he was released into the Edmonton community in 2017.

The Edmonton Police Service issued the notice after Major was released in June of that year.

At the time, the police service said it had reasonable grounds to believe Major would commit another sexual offence against a female, including children, while in the community.

Maybe his upstanding, incorruptible appearance?

So.

What do you have to do to earn a charge of "first-degree murder"?

I think that’s the question on everyone’s mind, Scot.

The person releasing the killer ought to be charged as an accessory.

The article claims he is 53, but he looks 73.

None of them would ever be released if those who release these Cretans are held responsible for their actions after release

I think you have to prove pre-meditation, but not 100% sure.

Anyone who penetrates a prepubescent child (other than a doctor on legitimate grounds with a witness) should be put to death.
