KINGSTON – Kingston police say they are investigating a potential act of intimate partner violence after arresting a man who is alleged to have killed a woman.

Police say they responded to a home in the city’s west end on Friday afternoon after a report of a disturbance.

They say a male suspect had barricaded himself inside a home on Berrywood Crescent when they arrived at the scene.

They say they found a 25-year-old woman suffering from several injuries when they entered the home, and she later died of her injuries at a local hospital.

Police say the 26-year-old suspect who was inside the home when they arrived was taken into custody and has been charged with first-degree murder.

Police say they are considering the death to be a femicide, which refers to the killing of women and girls because of their gender, and investigators ask anyone with information about the case to come forward. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 17, 2025.
