A 46-year-old woman has allegedly been murdered by her husband at an east-end Toronto home over the weekend before the 50-year-old man was found dead, police say.
Emergency crews were called to a home on James Park Square, near Brimley Road and McNicoll Avenue, at around 7:45 p.m. on Saturday as part of a “wellness check.”
The statement said when officers arrived, a woman was found dead in the hallway of a home. An autopsy later revealed the victim, who was identified as Daisy Sehgal, died after neck compressions.
