A forensic identification van and a cruiser were parked outside a home at 562 Kingsway Ave.
Neighbours said a man who is a construction worker moved into the home less than a year ago followed by a woman who was his partner. Police had been called to the home about seven times in the last year as the couple had troubles, neighbours said.
“I am stressed out. I’m gonna ball my eyes out now. It is a shock knowing that happened next door,” Jen Belair said.
Mike Nyhof, another neighbour, described the man who lived in the home as a “good guy, good neighbour.
“This can happen anywhere.”
Police said the investigation by the major crime section is in its early stages and anyone with information is asked to call them at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
