After a further search, they say they found a woman inside a unit with obvious signs of trauma.

She was treated for injuries, but ultimately died.

Police characterize the case as a murder-suicide and have listed 27-year-old Essozinam Assali as the city’s 10th homicide victim of the year.

They have identified the 30-year-old man as Onoseta Oribhabor of Edmonton.

Police describe the deaths as a domestic incident and say no other suspects are being sought.

While those close to Assali allege Oribhabor was her boyfriend, but Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook would not confirm the relationship.
