A relative of a woman who was stabbed to death at a Mississauga motel has been charged with murder, police say.
Peel Regional Police said that officers responded to a stabbing at a motel in the area of Britannia Road East and Whittle Road at 9:30 a.m. on Monday for a stabbing.
Emergency crews located a woman in her 50s who had been stabbed and she died at the scene.

Police announced Friday that on Tuesday, 25-year-old Mississauga resident Waleed Osman was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
