Calgary police say an 18-year-old local man has been charged with second degree murder after his caseworker at an assisted-living residence was stabbed to death.

Officers were called to the home in southwest Calgary about 2;45 a.m.

Emergency crews provided first aid but 47-year-old Deborah Onwu died of her injuries.

Staff Sgt. Martin Schiavetta says Brandon Newman was arrested two hours later in the downtown.

Newman was charged soon after and remains in custody with his next court appearance set for Nov. 1.

Schiavetta says it’s believed that a verbal and physical confrontation happened between the suspect and Onwu, and she was stabbed.
