A woman has been charged with first-degree murder after a man was found dead in a Toronto apartment last week, police say.
Toronto police said officers responded to reports of a person who was found dead in an apartment in the Weston Road and Bellevue Crescent area, just south of Lawrence Avenue West, at around 6:35 p.m. on Aug. 9.
Police said 67-year-old Toronto resident Ahmed Hassan was found deceased.
Police said that his body was taken to the coroner’s office, where it was determined that he was the victim of a homicide.
In an update on Tuesday, police said a 38-year-old Toronto woman was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
The victim and the accused were known to each other, police said.
Further information about the case, including Hassan’s cause of death, hasn’t been released.
