The death of a 39-year-old woman found in southwest Edmonton on July 11 has been ruled a homicide, Edmonton police said on Wednesday.
Teresa Dejesus Esquivel-Robles was the victim of a homicide and died as a result of being stabbed, the Edmonton police said.
Police were called around 5 a.m. last weekend to an apartment building in the area of Mullen Road and Mullen Place after a Esquivel-Robles was found dead in one of the suites.
A press release was issued by police as they looked for a vehicle of interest in Esquivel-Robles’ death. Sicamous RCMP found the vehicle in British Columbia later that night.
The driver, identified as 39-year-old Luis Antonio Candela-Gonzalez was found dead a short distance away. The Coroners Service of British Columbia continues to investigate the manner of Candela-Gonzalez’s death.
Sicamous RCMP don’t believe his death was criminal in nature.
