Article content

A woman was stabbed to death Monday morning at a hotel in Mississauga.

At 9:25 a.m., Peel Regional Police officers were called to the area of Britannia Rd. and Whittle Rd. where an adult female in her 50s was found dead.

“EMS and police attended a hotel room to find a woman who had been stabbed, and unfortunately she succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased by EMS. We are in the preliminary stages of the investigation but we believe it was an isolated incident and the suspect is still outstanding,” Const. Richard Chin told media at the scene.

“We are still investigating the nature of the events. The victim and suspect are known to each other, but it wasn’t an intimate relationship.”

Police didn’t disclose what the woman was doing in the room or the description of the suspect.

Homicide detectives took over the investigation into Peel Region’s 12th killing of the year.

Peel officers, meanwhile, offered no update on Saturday morning’s fatal shooting of a man in a Brampton neighbourhood.

Police say officers responded to the deadly shooting call on Ivor Cr. – near Mississauga Rd and Sandalwood Pkwy. – around 7:20 a.m. and found the gravely injured man on the driveway in front of a house.

The victim was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Homicide detectives are investigating but have offered few details, including the identity of the victim or any information about a suspect.

They have confirmed the two killings are not related.
