Two women are facing charges, including second-degree murder, in relation to the deaths of a pair of people in Regina earlier this week, police said Wednesday.
A 42-year-old woman and 37-year-old man were found dead outside of a home at the 1100 block of Elphinstone Street on Tuesday, the Regina Police Service said in a news release. It said officers were responding to “a report that two people had been shot” around 4:30 a.m.
“A 19-year-old female suspect, now charged, fled the scene and attempted to hide from police in a nearby yard,” police said. A canine unit was used to find the woman, who was bit by a police dog and taken to hospital after her arrest.
