The two teens, whose identities are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, have been charged with first-degree murder.

Sources confirm the pair was arrested in Halifax where they saw a Justice of the Peace on Wednesday. They were set to be transported to Calgary within aweek.

Police said the 48-year-old man, Jason Greyeyes, was last seen on Aug. 11 in southeast Calgary.
