Durham Regional Police have identified a woman who they allege was fatally stabbed by her husband at their home in Oshawa over the weekend.
Officers were called to a home on Eulalie Avenue, in the area of King Street East and Ritson Road South, at around 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 17.
First responders found a woman inside the home with “traumatic injuries.” They performed CPR and rushed her to a Toronto-area trauma centre, but she was pronounced dead a short time later.
Police identified the victim Monday as 48-year-old Parween Adel.
They said her husband was taken into custody at the home “without incident” Sunday.
Investigators said 41-year-old Hakim Adel is now facing a charge of second-degree murder.
Police previously said that the couple’s two five-year-old children were at home at the time of the stabbing, as was an elderly woman.
