A suspect in the death of a popular local artist and a series of violent home invasions has been returned to Canada by authorities in Trinidad and Tobago.

Septimus Neverson, 54, was arrested in Port of Spain in February of 2015. Montreal police had issued an international arrest warrant for Neverson, accusing him of killing Jacques Sénécal at his Laval home in 2006.

Neverson also faces three counts of attempted murder, kidnapping and forcible confinement.

All the accusations relate to 13 home invasions that occurred between 2006 and 2009 in Montreal and Laval.

Montreal police said Neverson arrived in the city on Friday. He will make a court appearance today by video conference to be formally charged.
