Edmonton police are investigating what they describe as the suspicious death of a woman found in the bedroom of her apartment just north of downtown late Wednesday afternoon.
The woman's husband is in police custody for questioning and police were awaiting the results of an autopsy on Thursday.
On a tip from the provincial mental health crisis team, police showed up at the three-floor walk-up Wednesday at 5 p.m. They asked to be let into a first-floor apartment occupied since 2000 by a Cambodian couple.
Landlord Allan Thompson unlocked the door, but said Thursday that police had to force their way into the apartment.
"There was some barricading to the main door of the suite," he said.
Det. Bill Clark told reporters that police went to the apartment to check on the welfare of the occupants.
“We went inside and found a male who was acting a little delusional,” he said.
Clarke said they found the body of a woman in the bedroom and took the man into custody.
Police said they are treating the woman's death as a homicide.
