Two of the accussed in a home invasion last weekend in Sydney Mines have been released on conditions.

33 year old Ashley Marie Keagan and Marie Jolie Gillard have been released from custody until trial.  They’re charged with break, enter and theft as well as breaching court conditions.

Two brothers, David Angus Forrest and Michael Cory Forrest, remain in custody.  The Cape Breton Post reports they are related to the complainant in the case which saw a man and woman receive minor injuries when four people broke into their home on Barrington Street and robbed them.

There’s an unusual archaeological dig underway this summer near Fortress Louisbourg.

Anthropology students from U-N-B are recovering the remains of about a thousand bodies buried near the Fortress because the land there is eroding.  They are also recovering artifacts from the 18th century buried with them.

Parks Canada says the remains will be taken to U-N-B for further analysis while another burying place is found for them.
