April 28: RCMP investigates woman’s death

RCMP are investigating the suspicious dearth of a woman in the Shuswap.

On Tuesday April 27 around 11:30 p.m., Chase RCMP officers were dispatched to a residence in the 8600-block of Holding Road near Adams Lake. Once on scene, first responders found a deceased woman inside the home.

“An adult male was taken into police custody without incident, by front line RCMP officers at the scene,” S/Sgt. Scott Aschenbrenner, Unit Commander of the Southeast District Major Crime Unit, stated. “Although a full determination surrounding criminality has not yet been made, the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death are being considered suspicious in nature at this time.”

The victim has been identified as a 60-year-old woman. The man taken into police custody was well known to the deceased, and the RCMP do not believe there is any risk to the general public.

The BC Coroners Service is also investigating the death.

Anyone with any additional information is asked to contact the RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit information line at 1-877-987-8477.
