Arrest in 2011 Murder of New Waterford Man

Halifax Police have yet to release the name of the suspect they arrested in relation to the 2011 murder of New Waterford man.

37 year-old James Gregory Wareham was stabbed in the stomach at a Dartmouth apartment and died a few hours later in hospital.

Yesterday, police said they arrested a 24-year-old man at a home just off Northwest Arm Drive in Halifax.

Police won’t say what led to the arrest except that it evolved from their investigation.

They also don’t know when the accused will appear in court.

Wareham’s family say they believed he stepped in to help a friend and was stabbed in the process.

In the days after the incident, police said they were looking for specific people they thought might have information about Wareham’s death.
