VANCOUBER, B.C. — Vancouver police say arrests have been made in two unrelated cases of bodies that were found at opposite ends of the city.

Police say the body of a man was found on the property of a West End mansion shortly before 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

Twelve hours later, police discovered the body of a 61-year-old woman in an apartment in the city’s east side.

Police say that a 48-year-old man is in custody in relation to the West End case, and investigators will work with the coroner to confirm the victim’s identity and cause of death.

A man was also arrested in the death of the woman, and police say the suspect was found in the apartment with the victim.
