Charges have been laid in a homicide that shook a residential neighbourhood in Burnaby Thursday afternoon.
Just after 1 p.m., the Burnaby RCMP received a report of a woman requiring medical attention at a house in the 7900-block of 18th Avenue.
When police arrived, they found a 45-year-old female victim dead inside. A 47-year-old man was arrested at the scene shortly after police arrived.
He has now been identified as the victim’s husband, Parveen Maan.
