Charges laid in 41st homicide in Edmonton

The Edmonton Police Homicide Section has charged a woman in connection with a homicide that occurred at a residence in northwest Edmonton yesterday.

Christine Longridge, 50, has been charged with second degree murder and possession of an offensive weapon in relation to the homicide of her daughter, Rachael Longridge, 21.
