A woman has died after being rushed to the hospital with life threatening stab wounds in the city’s Kensington Village area. Police were called to the scene by a neighbor who heard screams from a few houses down and when they arrived, they located the woman who was suffering from obvious trauma.
Police have taken one suspect into custody, but they have not ruled it a homicide just yet and are waiting for the coroner to determine the cause of death.
CBC London reported that neighbors believe it was a domestic attack and that the suspect was a youth who knew the victim.
In a news release, the police said “The investigation is in the early stages and more information will be released when it becomes available.”
Anyone with information related to this is being asked to contact London Police Services (519) 661-5670, or CrimeStoppers 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Information can also be sent anonymously to www.londoncrimestoppers.com.
As more information comes out, we will be updating this post.
UPDATE
A 15 year old male has been charged with second degree murder in relation to the stabbing. The accused appeared in court on Wednesday but will not be named as he is under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The investigation has also been assigned to the Major Crime Section and will continue. Police have not released the relationship between the two, nor the victim’s name.
