On Thursday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said prosecutors had approved charges against Yang ‘Christopher’ Liang, 35 in the killing.

“As the parties were known to one another, investigators believe this may have been a tragic incident of intimate partner violence,” IHIT spokesperson Corp. Esther Tupper said in a media release.

Police have not provided an update on the status of the woman arrested at the scene.

Homicide investigators are urging anyone with information to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
