A man has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a woman found at a house in Vancouver’s Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood early Saturday, according to police.
Officers were called out to the home near Rupert Street and Euclid Avenue around midnight PT on Saturday, according to Vancouver Police Department (VPD) spokesperson Sgt. Steve Addison.
There, they found one woman in her 20s dead at the scene, and another man in his 20s who had to be taken to hospital with serious injuries. Police arrested a 46-year-old suspect at the scene.
On Sunday, they identified him as Tenzin Choigey. He is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Roshnee Gurung, 26. He has also been charged with aggravated assault.
VPD did not confirm whether the suspect was previously known to police. The name of the 27-year-old assault victim was not released.
Addison said Choigey remains in custody, and online court records show his next court appearance will be on Nov. 26.
Investigators are asking anyone with information on the case to contact police.
Police say a woman in her 20s was killed and a man in his 20s was injured. (CBC)
