Provincial police in Quebec have arrested a 39-year-old man in connection with a suspected femicide after the body of a 34-year-old woman was found Saturday in Wickham, Que.
Sûreté du Québec (SQ) spokesperson Ève Brochu-Joubert told Global News that Montreal police were first called because relatives of the two people, who are residents of the city, were worried for their safety.
The man and woman, who live in Pierrefonds, were traced to the small rural municipality just south of Drummondville at noon. Her body was found dead and the suspect was found at the site. Police say he was arrested and transported to hospital for psychiatric evaluation.
A police vehicle is seen outside the Pierrefonds home of the 34-year-old victim and the 39-year-old suspect on Sunday. Provincial police found her body in the rural area of Wickham, Que. on Saturday. He was arrested on site.
