MONTREAL — Police are investigating the violent death of a 36-year-old woman whose body was found in an apartment in Côte St-Luc, a suburb in western Montreal.

Police received a call at around midnight for a woman injured at the apartment, located on Adalbert Avenue, and a 35-year-old man was arrested at the scene and taken in for questioning.

They say the woman suffered injuries to her upper body caused by a sharp-edged weapon and was declared dead at the scene.

A police spokesperson says the detectives and crime scene technicians are combing the scene of the crime today.

Quebec has experienced a spate of femicides since the beginning of 2021, with an unofficial count putting the number at 11 now.
