The death of a woman whose body was found inside a home in Edmonton’s Strathearn neighbourhood on Tuesday is being treated as suspicious by police.

In a news release issued Wednesday, the Edmonton Police Service said homicide detectives are leading the investigation.

Police said officers responded to a weapon complaint at a home in the area of 95 Avenue and 91 Street at about 10:15 a.m.

A significant police presence could be seen in the area as officers contained the residence.

Police said a suspect was arrested by officers. They said he had fled the area of the home before officers arrived but did not say where the arrest was made.
