Waterloo Regional Police say officers responded to a home on Cayley Court, near Ottawa Street South and Courtland Avenue East, just after 10 p.m. Tuesday. When officers arrived, they found two women and a girl injured. The victims were taken to the hospital where a 41-year-old woman was pronounced dead. Police say the other two victims, aged 51 and seven, remain in hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Police arrested and charged a 30-year-old Kitchener man with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder. “Investigators believe that the accused and the victims are known to each other and there is no concern for public safety at this time,” Waterloo Regional Police said. Melissa Quarrie said. “We are asking anyone with information to contact the police or the Major Crime Unit.” There was a heavy police presence in the neighborhood overnight, and police say officers will continue to be in the area Wednesday to investigate as part of the ongoing investigation.
