CALGARY — Calgary police have charged a man with murder in the deaths of a woman and her young son.

Thirty-five-year-old Chona Manzano and five-year-old Gabriel Manzano were found dead Thursday in a home on the northwest edge of the city.

Police say they soon began looking for a vehicle associated with the home.

Mounties pulled it over on a highway about 90 kilometres north near Olds and took the driver into custody.

Police say the suspect is related to the dead but is not an immediate family member and did not live in the same home.

Guevara Wilson Clorina, who is 26 and from Calgary, faces two counts of second-degree murder.

He is to appear in court next Tuesday.
