A Winnipeg man is charged with her slaying as well as injuring a police officer with the same knife.

Kyle William Hunter, 25, is charged with second-degree murder, attempted murder, attempting to disarm a police officer, possessing a dangerous weapon and failing to comply with an undertaking.

Hunter made a brief appearance in court Monday, but the case was put over to today. He did not yet have a lawyer.

Const. Jason Michalyshen said on Sunday the slaying in a St. Boniface residence was considered "a domestic-related matter."

"This was a very horrific incident and a very tragic incident," Michalyshen said.

The case marks Winnipeg's 18th homicide of the year.

Several members of Jirasek's family declined to comment until they learned more from the police.

Michalyshen said the injured officer received non-life-threatening cuts "to his extremities" from a knife-wielding man, who also tried to grab the officer's service pistol before other officers came to help him.

The injured officer's rank and years of service were not released.
