April 20, 2022
Lambton OPP are hoping for witnesses to come forward with information about the murder at the Marthaville Habitat Management Area.
Thursday morning, police were called to the popular walking trail when someone found the body of man in the parking lot. OPP said today Andrew Chute, 45, of Sarnia had been shot. It was a targeted attack.
Thursday, police cars lined Marthaville Road and officers could be seen walking the ditches looking for clues. Small orange markers – often used to identify evidence – dotted the asphalt. Police were on the scene until Sunday. The habitat was closed to the public Monday and Tuesday and County of Lambton crews were repairing the parking lot.
Police are now looking for the public’s help. Officers are looking to talk to people who may have been in the Marthaville, Lasalle Line or Churchill Line between 4 am and 7 am that day. They’re also looking for dash cam footage from drivers in the area.
Police have set up a special dedicated OPP Tip Line at 1-844-677-9408 or you can email your Tips to [email protected]. If you want to remain anonymous, you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
