They found that a 79-year-old woman had died in an apartment and, after a postmortem, they concluded she had been killed.

Officers made three arrests in their investigation, including a 39-year-old man from Peterborough, who was charged with first-degree murder.

Then, months after first discovering the victim, police said they searched an address in Peterborough and laid more charges.

The same suspect is charged with a range of new offences, including possession of a prohibited firearm without a licence and breach of probation.
