Susan Kuplu’s 18-year-old daughter Lennese Kublu stands accused of the same offences. She made her first court appearance Saturday.

Brown appeared in court Monday. He was in police custody and had been brought to the cellblock at police headquarters on Elgin Street late Sunday afternoon.

Susan Kuplu was last seen the morning of Jan. 10.

Homicide detectives believe Susan Kuplu was killed sometime between Jan. 10 and Jan. 12. Lennese allegedly confessed on Friday to disposing of her mother’s dead body in a dumpster near their Penny Drive home in the city’s west end.
