A Barrie man accused of being an accessory after-the-fact to murder, following the the deaths of two men, had his charges stayed by the Crown.

Dave Dumont, 47, was accused of helping Robert Ladouceur, 53, who is accused of first and second-degree murder in the deaths of William ‘Blake’ Robinson and David Kyle Cheesequay, at a homeless encampment in 2025.

Dumont and another man, Eddy Guitard, 46, faced accessory charges shortly after Ladouceur was arrested by Barrie police last summer.

Ladouceur, is alleged to have dismembered Robinson and Cheesequay. Investigators believe Robinson was killed in January 2025 and Cheesequay in late July, according to court documents obtained by CTV News.

Police said, at the time of Ladouceur’s arrest, the murders were “not random”, and the accused and victims knew one another after living together “at some point in time” in the encampment.

Also known as ‘Tattoo Rob,’ Ladouceur was charged with two counts of murder following the discovery of dismembered remains in Barrie, and Huntsville. Police revealed evidence led investigators to another scene in north Simcoe.

Ladouceur has been behind bars since his Aug. 2025 arrest and initially retained defence lawyer Eginhart Ehlers, who has since stepped aside due to a conflict in the case. Ladouceur is now represented by defence lawyer Anthony Bryant.

Guitard is scheduled to return to court in Barrie in a week. Ladouceur returns to a virtual court from jail in June.

The allegations against the accused have not been tested in court.
