University RCMP were called to the unit on Shortcut Road in the Lelem Village area shortly before midnight on March 13, where they found a woman dead.
At the time, police said they arrested a man and a woman at the scene.

On Thursday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said prosecutors had approved charges against Yang ‘Christopher’ Liang, 35 in the killing.
“As the parties were known to one another, investigators believe this may have been a tragic incident of intimate partner violence,” IHIT spokesperson Corp. Esther Tupper said in a media release.
