LAVAL, Que. — A 61-year-old woman was stabbed to death inside her apartment Thursday in Montreal’s northern suburb hours after police visited the home.

Police in Laval, Que., say they arrested a 30-year-old man at the scene.

Officers were dispatched to a home in the Vimont district after 5:30 p.m. for an alleged dispute between adults, and found a woman suffering from stab wounds.

The woman was transported to hospital where her death was confirmed, and police say the 30-year-old suspect was sent to hospital for evaluation.

Const. Erika Landry says police were first called to the home at 2:30 p.m. that day and an intervention took place involving paramedics and social workers.
