SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, Que. — A 43-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a woman found at a home south of Montreal.

Police say Joël Brosseau was arraigned today at the courthouse in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que.

Sgt. Jérémie Levesque says police were called to the home at 9:15 a.m. Sunday and found the 67-year-old woman, who was pronounced dead in hospital.

Brosseau was arrested at the scene, but court documents say he has no fixed address.
