Death of Stony Plain woman ruled a homicide

EDMONTON – The RCMP confirmed the death of a woman found at a farm house near Rich Valley, Alberta last Friday was a homicide.

Stony Plain RCMP officers and Alberta Health Services Emergency Services staff were called to a home on a farm the morning of Friday, July 4.

Officers received calls about an unresponsive woman. When they arrived, they found 44-year-old Roxanne Lang, a resident of the home.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

An autopsy was done on July 8, and Lang’s death was deemed a homicide.
