RICHMOUND — RCMP in Saskatchewan have charged three more people who were arrested earlier this month at or near a compound that housed so-called “Queen of Canada” Romana Didulo.
Mounties say the three women faces charges of obstruction of a peace officer in Richmound, a village west of Regina.
RCMP named them as 72-year-old Lise Beauchamp, 37-year-old Melony Vanderbrink and 63-year-old Nancy Jancke.
RCMP say the women did not provide their names and dates of birth upon request after they were arrested Sept. 3 during a raid of the compound, nearby RVs and a home in the village.
The women are scheduled to appear in court Nov. 20 in Leader, Sask.
Didulo, a spiritual leader who has long been accused of establishing a cult in the community and clashing with residents, was among those arrested earlier this month and has been charged with breaching a court order and attempting to intimidate a justice system participant.
She is scheduled to make a court appearance later Wednesday.
During its raid of the compound, a privately owned decommissioned school, Mounties seized 13 imitation semi-automatic handguns along with ammunition and electronic devices.
Health officials have declared the decommissioned school building unfit for human habitation and are banning anyone from living there.
