WINNIPEG — Winnipeg police are investigating after a man was killed in a rooming house and his body dragged to a detached garage.
On Tuesday at 4:35 a.m., police were called to a residence in the 200 block of Belmont Avenue, as someone had concerns about a person who lived there.
When police arrived on scene, they found the body of a man with multiple suspicious injuries, which prompted a homicide investigation.
Police have identified the victim as 55-year-old Edward Lee Dyck from Winnipeg.
The investigation found that on Saturday, an argument erupted between the victim and the suspect. Police said Dyck was then assaulted, causing fatal injuries.

Police said Dyck and Hilderman both rented rooms at the location.
