Police in northeastern Ontario say a man accused in three Sudbury-area homicides in the past few months has escaped from the local jail.

The Greater Sudbury Police Service shared little information about when 33-year-old Joel Roy was believed to have fled the facility, but issued a release about his escape on Saturday evening. Staff Sgt. Sherry Young says he remains at large as of Sunday night.
