Montreal police announced on Thursday, August 18, that a woman was found deceased inside an apartment in the city. Officers responding to the location discovered the body and subsequently identified a male individual present at the scene as a suspect. The man sustained injuries during the incident and was taken to a hospital for treatment, where he remains under medical care.
The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal has opened a criminal investigation into the death. Detectives are collecting forensic evidence from the apartment and interviewing witnesses in the neighbourhood. Police have not released the identity of the victim or details about the circumstances that led to the discovery. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have indicated that further information will be released as it becomes available.
The injured suspect is currently hospitalized, and his medical condition has delayed any legal proceedings.
