The house is listed as being owned by Kathy and Dale Dickout and neighbours said the couple has lived in the home for decades.
The couple’s next door neighbour said she saw their adult son being taken out of the house naked, in handcuffs by police in the middle of the night.
The cause of the woman’s death has not been released. An autopsy has been scheduled for Wednesday morning.
Police said they will not release her name because “it does not serve an investigative purpose, there is no risk to public safety and the EPS has a duty to protect the privacy rights of the victims and their families.”
Her death has been deemed Edmonton’s 14th homicide of 2017.
Jason Glenn Dickout is charged with second-degree murder and possession of a dangerous weapon.
