MONTRÉAL – An 18-year-old man has been arrested and is expected to face a murder charge following the death of his mother in Sherbrooke, Que.
Sherbrooke police suspects the son of having fatally injured his mother with a blunt object on Thursday night in the family’s home.
A neighbour called the local police department around 9 p.m. to report a dispute inside the home. Officers who arrived at the scene found the seriously injured woman, according to a statement by police spokesperson Benoit Pellerin.
The 41-year-old victim was later pronounced dead in hospital.
Officers also found a young girl with an arm injury, who was taken to hospital. As of Friday midday, police did not fear for her life.
Patrol officers, investigators, and forensic technicians were deployed to the scene to speak with witnesses and secure the area.
The police service did not provide any more information “to preserve the integrity of the investigation,” which is ongoing. This would be the first murder in Sherbrooke this year.
