Durham Regional Police say they're investigating a homicide after a woman was found with “significant injuries” at a home in Oshawa overnight.
Police were called to a house on Eulalie Avenue, in the area of King Street East and Ritson Road South, on Sunday at around 12:30 a.m.
“Officers arrived on scene and located a 48-year-old female suffering from obvious signs of trauma,” Acting Staff-Sgt. Joanne Bortoluss told reporters outside the home Sunday morning.
First responders administered CPR and the woman was then rushed to a Toronto-area trauma centre, police said. However she was pronounced dead a short time later.
“Her husband, a 41-year-old male, is in police custody and is facing a charge of first-degree murder,” Bortoluss said.
She added that the couple’s two children – both five years old — as well as an elderly woman were home at the time of the incident. However none of them were injured.
Yellow caution tape could be seen wrapped around the home Sunday, with a police cruiser sitting outside.
