Saskatchewan RCMP investigate homicide of woman in Air Ronge

The La Ronge, Sask. RCMP and Saskatchewan RCMP major crime unit are investigating the homicide of a woman that occurred in a home in Air Ronge, Sask.

An RCMP release said the homicide occurred on Saturday morning in a Waco Drive home.

An earlier release said there was an increased police presence in the area.

Investigators believe there may have been other property-related crimes in the area and are asking people to check their properties to see if they have been the victim of a crime.
A press release from The Northern Village of Air Ronge Council called the incident “tragic and devastating.”

“During a time like this, we are feeling a wide range of emotions,” the release read.

Residents are encouraged to reach out to their friends or neighbours for mental health support.

“We know there may be questions in regards to this investigation, however due to the ongoing dynamic nature of it, the RCMP will release information as available.”

“In these uncertain times and going forward, with safety being at the top of our minds, we encourage everyone to use extra caution around their properties.”

Residents should lock their doors, secure their property, turn outside lights on and check in with neighbours as “simple measures” for safety.

Residents are asked to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the La Ronge RCMP Detachment at 306-425-6730, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 or 911 in an emergency.

The major crime unit continues to investigate with the help of RCMP police dog services, RCMP historical case unit, technological crimes unit and RCMP forensic identification services.

RCMP did not provide a name or age for the victim.
