UPDATE: Murder victim ID’ed, suspect charged

Lawrence Robert Godfrey of Vibank has been identified as the victim in Regina’s fourth murder of 2021.

The Regina Police Service named Godfrey on Monday, when it also announced 25-year-old Anthony Trey Seon of Regina had been charged with second-degree murder in the case.

At around 4:20 Sunday morning, officers were sent to a home on St. John Street in the northeast part of the city, where they found a man hurt.

Paramedics responded but Godfrey, 45, was soon pronounced dead.

Police asked the Saskatchewan Coroners Service for its help in the investigation, which was determined to be a murder.

Seon was arrested Sunday. He’s to make his first court appearance Tuesday.
