RCMP have laid a murder charge in connection to the death of a 28-year-old woman on the Mistawasis First Nation.
Mounties announced the charge against a 30-year-old man from the community on Wednesday. He is facing one count of second-degree murder in connection to the death of Cindy Joseph.
Joseph, from Ahtahkakoop First Nation, died in hospital Friday.
Police say she was taken to the hospital after officers were called to a home on Mistawasis at about 4:40 a.m. She was unresponsive in the home when police arrived.
She and the accused were known to each other.
He is set to appear in Prince Albert Provincial Court Thursday morning.
Results of an autopsy scheduled for Monday in Saskatoon have yet to be released.
