Alyssa LeCaine, 25, was found dead in a house fire on Christmas Eve. North Battleford RCMP are investigating her death as a homicide.
The victim of a homicide on Christmas Eve in North Battleford, Sask., is being remembered as a loving mother who cared for others.
Alyssa LeCaine, 25, was found dead in a house fire along with Daphne Bear, 20, from Sweetgrass First Nation. The RCMP is investigating the deaths as homicides.
LeCaine’s mother, Marilyn Smith, said her daughter had just left an allegedly abusive relationship and moved back in with her family.
LeCaine spent Christmas Eve with her family having brunch. Smith went to take a nap and LeCaine left with her grandma and sister to do some last-minute Christmas shopping.
Smith said LeCaine ended up stopping at her former house where she had lived for about eight months.
“She was only supposed to be in the house for a couple of minutes to grab something,” Smith said.
Smith said her mother and another daughter, LeCaine’s sister, waited outside for her.
Smith said they were debating walking up to knock on the door when they heard a loud boom.
