Quebec Provincial Police say a 64-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of his wife.
Terry Oligny appeared by videoconference at the court in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, southeast of Montreal.
Officers found 69-year-old Donna Callahan-Oligny gravely injured at a residence in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu on Saturday, and she was later pronounced dead in hospital.
Police had received a 911 call earlier Saturday from a person expressing concern for one of the residents of the home, who had missed an appointment.
Officers arriving at the home found Callahan-Oligny and her 64-year-old partner, who was arrested at the scene.
