After indicating the deaths of a 45-year-old woman and 15-year-old boy were being investigated as murder, RCMP are now stating the situation was a murder suicide.
The South East District Major Crime Unit has now concluded its investigation into the deaths of two people at a residence in Anglemont.
On April 30, at approximately 4:40 p.m., Chase RCMP were called to a residence in Anglemont, located 45 minutes east of Chase. Upon arrival, police located the bodies of two people.
“RCMP have confirmed that this tragic event was a murder-suicide,” stated Cst. Lesley Smith, north district media relations officer. “The crime scene posed a number of challenges for members and after a lengthy investigation, with the assistance of the RCMP Forensic Identification Unit, police were able to confirm this unfortunate outcome.”
The residence is located on Greenwich Close Road in Anglemont.
Smith says the names of the two deceased have still not been released out of respect for the family and would not comment on which person was determined to be the murder victim.
