However, investigators wouldn’t say what the relationship was between the two.
Police believe it was a targeted incident and said there is no risk to the public.
The duplex was still surrounded by police tape and a patrol unit Monday afternoon and the window on the back door of the home also appeared to be smashed.
Neighbours told Global News they believed a couple was living in the home and police had not been previously seen at the address.
The people who live in the basement of the home said they were questioned by investigators following the discovery of the woman’s body, but nobody reported hearing any noises coming from the home overnight.
Police are expected to release more details about the investigation following an autopsy on Tuesday.
They’re also asking anyone who may have information about the case to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
