Upon arrival, they found a woman with severe injuries and rushed her to the health center, where she tragically passed away shortly after.

The young suspect has been charged with second-degree murder under Section 235 of the Criminal Code. She appeared before a Justice of the Peace and was remanded into custody, with a court appearance scheduled for March 25 in Yellowknife.
