A Winnipeg woman who has been charged with killing her Wolseley neighbour has been released on bail.

​Brenda Lee Schuff was recently released into the community under the supervision of the Elizabeth Fry Society. Winnipeg police charged Schuff with second-degree murder in April for the slaying of Judy Kenny.

Police found the 54-year-old woman dead at her home on Camden Place, between Wolseley and Portage avenues, after police responded to a 911 call.

Schuff's lawyer Matt Gould said his client has strict conditions that she must comply with while in the community, including a curfew. She isn't staying at her home in Wolseley and has not been forced to wear an ankle bracelet, he said.

Granting someone bail isn't something a court would take lightly given the seriousness of the charge, said Gould.

"It is a very thorough process to apply for bail, particularly when someone is charged with something extraordinary serious as in this case," Gould said. "Nobody takes that lightly."

Winnipeg police said in April it appeared an edged weapon was used in the killing, but they weren't sure about a possible motive for the killing.

Gould said he plans to take the case to trial.
