RCMP in Saskatchewan say a second person has been charged in the death of a missing Edmonton woman.

Police say Danita Thomas, who is 32 and from North Battleford Sask., faces counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping, improperly interfering with a human body and theft of a motor vehicle.

Shayla Orthner, who is 27, faced similar charges.

Police say the two women are accused of killing Tiki Brook-Lyn Laverdiere, whose remains were found last week by a police dog in a rural area outside North Battleford.

Laverdiere was missing for two months before her remains were found.

Thomas is to make her first court appearance in North Battleford on Wednesday.
