On May 16, 2009, at about 7:00 a.m., RCMP Shamattawa Detachment responded to a complaint for assistance and located a woman who had been stabbed in her residence.
The woman, identified as 42-year-old Lorna Kate Redhead of Shamattawa, was transported to the Shamattawa Nursing Station where she later succumbed to her injuries.
Isaiah Tom Miles (42 years old) from Shamattawa was arrested and has been charged with 2nd Degree Murder and Assault with a weapon. He had been in a relationship with the victim for several years.
At the time of the incident, he was on a conditional sentence order, stemming from previous domestic violence charges, with conditions to have no contact with Lorna Redhead. He has been remanded in custody and will appear in Thompson Provincial Court on Wednesday May 20th, at 10:00a.m.
Members of the Shamattawa RCMP, with the assistance of the RCMP Serious Crime Unit, Winnipeg Major Crime Unit and Winnipeg Forensic Identification Section, continue to investigate this incident.
