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.

As police continued to search the house, investigators said a man, identified as Anurag Kalwar, was found dead in the basement of the home.

Meanwhile, anyone with information about the situation was asked to call police at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
