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 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.
