Police have arrested a suspect after a 64-year-old woman was found dead with her hands and mouth bound last month in Montreal’s Lachine borough.
Linda Salagan was found in an apartment on July 29 and her death was initially considered suspicious. The following day, police confirmed it was a homicide.
After getting a 911 call, police were called to the home on 32e Avenue near Victoria Street at 7:45 p.m. and found her lifeless body. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Wednesday, Montreal police said they arrested a 28-year-old man, whose name was not released. He is expected to appear in court to be charged with first-degree murder.
Salagan’s death was the 21st homicide in Montreal this year.
Police say anyone with information about any crime can contact 911, their local police station, or file an anonymous report by calling 514-393-1133.
