A third person has been charged with first-degree murder after a woman was found dead in a Lethbridge motel room over the weekend.

Police responded to a motel in the 2200 block of Seventh Avenue South on Dec. 28 and found a woman dead inside a ground-floor room.

The victim was identified as Christina Webber.

Two men were arrested in relation to Webber’s death, and an arrest warrant was issued for 23-year-old Melissa Christelle Tidlund.

Police say Tidlund turned herself in on Friday evening.

Police said the three people took property from the room and fled in an SUV, which was later parked in the 500 block of Seventh Avenue South and set on fire.

An autopsy was performed by a medical examiner in Calgary, which confirmed the death as a homicide.
