[PHOTOS] Suspicious death of a 54-year-old woman in Parc-extension

Montreal police are investigating a suspicious death after the discovery Sunday afternoon of the lifeless body of a 54-year-old woman in an apartment in the Parc-extension district.

Traces of violence were found on the body of the victim, said the spokesman for the Police Department of the City of Montreal, Jean-Pierre Barbant.

At first, the police called to intervene for an armed attack in a dwelling in the rue de Liège, near the avenue Querbes.

At the scene, they found a 23-year-old man with stab wounds to the upper body before being taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A 26-year-old woman was arrested by the police who, after exploiting additional information, discovered the lifeless body of the 50-year-old in another apartment.

SPVM major crime investigators and forensic identification technicians were still on the scene to analyze the scene and try to better understand what happened.

The young woman arrested for the armed altercation has not yet been met by investigators to see if she is involved in the death of the fifty-year-old.

In order not to harm the investigation, the SPVM did not want to say if there is any link between the arrested woman and the victim.
