Police said the victim had signs of massive blunt force trauma and now believe he was assaulted over an extended period of time.
“Officers believe all three males attended the residence and they were there for the 24 hour period prior to his discovery, so it’s believed from his injuries that he was assaulted during those 24 hours,” Cst. Tammy Skrabek said Tuesday.
