Calgary police say the deaths of two people in the community of Spruce Cliff this weekend are the result of a murder suicide.
Emergency crews were called to a high-rise condominium in the 0-100 block of Spruce Place S.W. around 7:10 p.m. on Saturday for reports that a woman had been found dead.
Police say as first responders were assessing the situation, a man jumped to his death from an upper-level balcony.
On Monday, police identified the homicide victim as 69-year-old Joanne Suk-Wah Tse and the man who then took his own life as 61-year-old De Lin Tang.
"This event was domestic in nature, however, we believe this was a new relationship and we are still trying to determine the nature of the relationship and the events that led up to this tragic outcome," said Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson in a news release.
