The 65-year-old also faces a slew of other charges: armed robbery, disguise with intent, hostage taking using a firearm, possession of an explosive device, endangering life by planting an explosive device, and intentional and reckless cause of damage by detonating it.
His former-spouse, 52-year-old Sandra Carr, was also arrested Thursday and charged with obstructing justice and as a party to first-degree murder.

The properties were a yellow bungalow at 966 Cottage Farms Rd. off Highway 2 and a former feed mill at 1121 Middle Rd. On Thursday afternoon, multiple officers, some in uniform and others not, searched through and around the properties.
