A 29-year-old man is facing second-degree murder charges in connection with a 37-year-old woman’s death at a downtown apartment Friday evening.
The victim has been identified as Rachel Muswagon, who was from Norway House Cree Nation and lived in Winnipeg.
The Winnipeg Police Service says the accused and victim knew each other.
Police say they were called to the apartment complex on Sargent Avenue near Kennedy Street around 7:45 p.m. for the report of a woman who had been stabbed.
