The RCMPs major crimes unit took over the investigation and an autopsy determined the manner of death to be homicide.
On May 28, the victim was identified as 54-year-old Wilfred Rever, a resident of Manning, located approximately 140 kilometres south of Fairview and 585 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
The investigation was then turned over to Peace River RCMP, police said.
On Wednesday and Thursday, after months of investigation, police arrested and charged four people in connection to Revers death.
Christopher Valin, 32, a resident of Berwyn, is charged with second-degree murder.
Three others Brooke Burton, 44, from Manning, Glenn Whitney, 57, from Fairview, and Guy Valin, 57, from Berwyn are each charged with accessory after the fact to murder and indignity to a body.
All four have been remanded into police custody and are scheduled to appear in Peace River court on Monday.
