A man is in custody after a 51-year-old woman was fatally stabbed Wednesday morning at a downtown Toronto home on Homewood Avenue, near Wellesley Street.
The woman was rushed to hospital in critical condition after she was found stabbed inside a halfway house. She was pronounced dead in hospital.
Police say the woman was the manager of the facility.
Someone could be heard screaming in the background when the 911 call came in.
Police say a 46-year-old man was arrested at the scene. There was no immediate information on his relationship to the victim.
Police are not releasing the woman's name, pending notification of next-of-kin. A post-mortem examination is scheduled.
