Sgt. Jérémie Levesque says police were called to the home at 9:15 a.m. Sunday and found the 67-year-old woman, who was pronounced dead in hospital.
Brosseau was arrested at the scene, but court documents say he has no fixed address.
Police would not confirm the link between the victim and the suspect, who Levesque says was not known to police.
The accused will return to court later this week.
