Calgary police have laid murder charges against two people in connection with the death of a man whose body was found two days after it's believed he was killed.

Allen McCabe, 32, and Megan Springstead, 33, each face a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Mahmoud Ahmid Aburashed, 58.

Police believe the motive is connected to a drug debt.

Springstead and McCabe were dating. Police say the couple lived with Aburashed.
