The Ottawa Police Service has identified the woman who was stabbed to death at Paul Landry Park on Uplands Drive Thursday morning.
She was identified as 36-year-old Brkti Berhe.
Emergency crews responded to a call for a stabbing at Paul Landry Park on Uplands Drive, between Paul Anka Drive and Bennett Street, at 11:25 a.m.
Ottawa Police say Berhe was stabbed and died from her injuries.
Two children at the park were transported to hospital as a precaution but were not injured, according to an Ottawa paramedic spokesperson.
Luis Pitrose lives nearby and said he heard a scream.
"We didn't think anything of it. We thought it was just kids playing at the park. Kids are always yelling and having fun at the park," he said. "Literally 10, 15 minutes, we walked in the front and we saw the police tape and the cop cars. It was just a wild scene. You feel for the kids the most. Thank God that the kids weren't harmed."
