Police have charged a man with manslaughter following a violent attack that resulted in a woman's death, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
In western Manitoba, RCMP officers have been investigating a homicide case since August 30. The incident occurred on Snake Island Way, Clearwater Lake, and the victim was a 31-year-old woman.
Walter Leach, a 35-year-old man, was arrested at the scene of the incident. Initially charged with aggravated assault, the charge has since been upgraded to manslaughter. Leach remains in custody, but it is important to note that the charge against him has not been proven in court.
The woman was found badly injured outside a home on the day of the incident. She was initially taken to a local hospital in critical condition before being flown to Winnipeg for further treatment. Unfortunately, she passed away on Sept. 4.
The investigation into the woman's death is still ongoing, and no new developments or updates have been released. The police have not mentioned any potential involvement of other suspects, changes in the status of the woman's family or friends, or any new evidence found or witnesses interviewed during the investigation.
The location of Leach's arrest was not specified in the text, and there are no available police investigation details regarding the crime scene at Snake Island Way, Clearwater Lake.
The RCMP continues to appeal for any information that may help in the investigation. If you have any details about this case, please contact your local RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim during this difficult time. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
