Two teen girls are in police custody in relation to an alleged homicide in northern Manitoba.
RCMP officers with the province’s Chemawawin detachment say they were called to a home in Easterville shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday morning in response to reports of a disturbance.
They say they found a 32-year-old woman who was critically injured and later died at the scene.
Police say a second victim, a 35-year-old woman, was later found nearby with unspecified, non-life-threatening injuries.
She was airlifted to hospital in Winnipeg, about 500 kilometres away, where she remains in stable condition.
Police say they arrested the 13-year-old and 14-year-old girls, but did not indicate whether they knew the victim or if charges have been laid in the ongoing investigation.
