The New Brunswick RCMP major crime unit is investigating the homicide of a 32-year-old woman after a stabbing early Tuesday.

In a release, RCMP said members of the Codiac detachment responded “to a report of a disturbance” on Belleview Avenue around 2:45 a.m.

“When police arrived at the scene, they located a woman in the street who was suffering from multiple stab wounds,” the release said. “The woman was transported to hospital where she later died as a result of her injuries.”

Police stopped a vehicle near the scene a short time later and arrested a 38-year-old woman from Fredericton, a 49-year-old man from Bloomfield Ridge, and a 28-year-old man from Storeytown.

Police did not release further information about the people who were arrested and the victim was not identified.
