One of the suspects believed to be involved in the attempted killing of a woman found in a dumpster has turned himself in to police.
Joey Michael Audy, a 35-year-old man from Winnipeg, turned himself in and was placed under arrest Tuesday. He has been charged with attempted murder, assault causing bodily harm, uttering threats, robbery and forcible confinement. He remains in custody.
The victim, a 27-year-old woman, was found screaming for help while restrained and abandoned in a dumpster in downtown Winnipeg Dec. 10. Investigators believe she was forced to visit a home on Carlton Street where she was assaulted and then forced into the dumpster. She has since been released from hospital.
Joey Michael Audy, 35, turned himself in to police Tuesday.
Police arrested one suspect believed to be involved in the assault, 27-year-old Romeo Chris Miles, in the 100 block of Marion Street Friday, and previously arrested Misty Bird, 26, and Lorde Barrios, 28, on Dec. 14 in connection to the attack.
One more suspect remains at large: 40-year-old Evelyn McKay, who is wanted on an arrest warrant for robbery and forcible confinement.
Anyone with information on the incident or McKay’s whereabouts is asked to call 911, the Winnipeg police sex crimes unit investigators at 204-986-6245, Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477, or send a tip online at winnipegcrimestoppers.org.
