EDMONTON – A man wanted in the slaying of an Edmonton senior has been arrested after being found in a field near Rimbey.

Police issued an arrest warrant for Walter James Jenkins, 34, after Frederick John Dunn, 67, was found dead in his home last weekend.

Police believe Dunn could have been dead for several days before he was discovered in the north Edmonton house where he lived alone.

He died as the result of a wound to the neck.
