The Virden RCMP is investigating a homicide that took place on Sioux Valley Dakota First Nation over the weekend.

Officers, along with EMS, responded to a report of a stabbing at a residence just after midnight on Saturday morning. They found a 26-year-old female from Sioux Valley Dakota First Nation with life-threatening injuries, and she was pronounced deceased a short time late.

An investigation then led to the arrest of 26-year-old Rennie Kristyna Williams, from Sioux Valley Dakota First Nation, who has been charged with Second Degree Murder. Williams was remanded into custody and is appearing in court in Brandon today.

Virden RCMP, along with RCMP Major Crime Services and Forensic Identification Services, continues to investigate.
