The family of a Cape Breton man missing since the summer says they are relieved now that police have a manslaughter suspect in custody and promises more arrests will follow.


Kenneth Justin MacDonald, who goes by Justin, went missing in July. Cape Breton Regional Police ruled the case a homicide last month.


On Friday, police arrested Mitchell George McPhee and charged him with manslaughter in MacDonald’s disappearance.


They also accused him of robbery and assault on another man, according to court documents.


MacDonald’s father, Ken, welcomed the development.


He said family members are “emotionally exhausted” but “especially good because we finally got news about what’s going on and… someone has finally been charged.”

MacDonald said police are doing their best.


“I wish it was faster, but I know they are working hard and they are making progress,” he said.


Spokeswoman Desiree Magnus said police are not releasing any other details at this time because the investigation is ongoing and more arrests and charges are pending.


MacDonald’s mother, Peggy, says she is confident police will get to the bottom of this, but the wait for justice is taking its toll.


“It’s not easy until we get them all and get Justin home,” she said.


According to court documents, the charges against McPhee are related to alleged incidents on July 8.


MacDonald was last seen at the Irving gas station in North Sydney around 11pm on July 7, where he appeared on the store’s security camera.


Police later found his vehicle about 25 kilometers away in the Ormond Crescent area of ​​Mira Road.


MacDonald’s family and friends have continued to search for clues to his disappearance, but his body has not been found.


McPhee remains in custody and will appear in court on Monday.


Police and the family are asking anyone with information to call regional police at 902-563-5151.
