Buster rest in peace now and your family may get a little peace now that your murder is caught.  It's shame to go this way for the Vet, but let it serve notice that nothing goes unpunished in the end.  

Good work RCMP

Harold 'Buster' Slaunwhite, 82, was found dead by family members in his home on Brook Street in Dominion, Cape Breton, on Sept. 10, 2006.

Cape Breton Regional Police say they've charged a 49-year-old man with first-degree murder in the death of a Second World War veteran 10 years ago.

Harold James "Buster" Slaunwhite, 82, was found dead by family members in his home on Brook Street in Dominion, Cape Breton, on Sept. 10, 2006. He lived alone.

Cape Breton Regional Police and Nova Scotia RCMP have been investigating his death ever since.

Police said they arrested Raymond Glenn Farrow of Glace Bay on Wednesday and charged him with murder. He appeared in Sydney provincial court Thursday morning.

"Today's charges represent the hard work of dozens of police officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Cape Breton Regional Police Service," RCMP Insp. Lynn Young said in a news release.

"The investigators worked tirelessly to find the person responsible for taking Harold's life."

Farrow's case has been set over until next Thursday to give him time to find a legal aid lawyer. In the meantime he will remain that the Cape Breton Correctional Centre.

He's also been ordered not to have contact with the Slaunwhite family.

CBRP Chief Peter MacIsaac says local police working closely with RCMP solved the case.

In the early days of the investigation, police learned that on the day before he was found dead, Slaunwhite was seen out, driving his car.

Police have not revealed how he died.

The Slaunwhite murder is part of the Nova Scotia rewards for major unsolved crimes program. Awards of up to $150,000 are offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for certain unsolved crimes.

However, CBRP Chief Peter MacIsaac said at a news conference on Thursday that no one would be receiving the reward. He said local police working closely with RCMP to solve the case.
