'Beyond warped:' Slain man's mother says RCMP named mom-daughter pair as accused

Two of the women accused in the murder of a 21-year-old Swift Current, Sask., man are mother and daughter, according to the victim's mother, citing information she was given by RCMP.

"It's getting beyond warped," said Cindy McEwen.

On Thursday, RCMP announced that a third woman, Jolene Denise Epp, 38, was facing a second-degree murder charge in relation to the death of Logan Ring, discovered dead last fall. 

Earlier in the week, RCMP laid second-degree murder charges against 25-year-old Rebecca Lynn Kuhlman — who McEwen says was a roommate and friend of her son — and 19-year-old Tanisha Lynn Perrault, who she says is Epp's daughter.

"The RCMP told me," she said Thursday. 

A person who knows Perrault also confirmed Epp and Perrault's relationship to CBC News. 

An RCMP spokesperson would not confirm the relationship to CBC, but police say all three women were known to to the victim.

Ring was found dead in a Saskatchewan provincial park in November 2016. Police had considered his death a homicide, but did not make any arrests until recently.

RCMP say the investigation remains ongoing as investigators are still looking for information about traffic that was spotted in the park's parking lot in the days around Ring's death, as well as his whereabouts beforehand.

'He was there for you'

McEwen said she wants her son remembered as an honourable person and someone who owned up to his faults.

She said he struggled with addictions at a young age and had trouble holding down a job due to severe ADHD.

"Didn't matter who you were, what colour, what creed, what religion, how low you were in your life or how high you were in your life — if you're good, kind to him, or he even thought you needed anything even if you weren't kind, he was there for you."
