Charges have been laid in a homicide that shook a residential neighbourhood in Burnaby Thursday afternoon.
Just after 1 p.m., the Burnaby RCMP received a report of a woman requiring medical attention at a house in the 7900-block of 18th Avenue.
When police arrived, they found a 45-year-old female victim dead inside. A 47-year-old man was arrested at the scene shortly after police arrived.
He has now been identified as the victim’s husband, Parveen Maan.
Maan has been charged with second-degree murder and remains in custody.
Police say the couple were parents to two young kids, who were not at home at the time of the dispute. The children are currently in the care of other family members.
