CALGARY – RCMP have laid charges in connection to the death of a woman in Strathmore on Tuesday.
Police were called to a fourplex in the 100 block of 6th Avenue shortly after 1 a.m. by a woman in distress.
Mounties arrived just minutes later and discovered the same woman dead at the scene.
On Wednesday, RCMP announced the victim was 49-year-old Brenda Walker of Strathmore.
Police have charged 52-year-old Glenn Randall of Strathmore with first-degree murder in connection to her death.
He was arrested without incident in Strathmore on Tuesday.
Walker and Randall were involved in a relationship that Walker ended late last year, but RCMP say there were no reports of domestic violence leading up to Walker’s death.
“We’ve checked our records, and there is no indication of any prior calls, domestic or otherwise, in regards to either person,” says S/Sgt. Kevin Reilly.
Investigators have been scouring the neighbourhood around Walker’s home, going through garbages in nearby alleyways and sifting through the freshly fallen snow for evidence.
Walker’s cause of death has not yet been released.
Randall is scheduled to make his first court appearance in Strathmore on January 20th.
Police are asking anyone who may have additional information about this investigation to contact the Strathmore RCMP at 403-934-3968, or contact Crimestoppers to make an anonymous tip.
