On October 29, 2013 just after 12:30am, Thompson RCMP were dispatched to a complaint of gunshots being fired.

Officers attended the area and discovered a female deceased in a residence. Police say that a 20-year-old male subject was arrested at the scene.

RCMP have now charged 20-year-old Craig John George Flett with the 2nd degree murder of Annette Freda Beardy-Spence. Both victim and accused were residents of Tataskweyak Cree Nation (Split Lake) and were known to each other.

An autopsy was completed on October 30 in Winnipeg and has confirmed that the cause of death is due to a gunshot wound.

Thompson RCMP Officers assisted by RCMP Major Crime Services and the RCMP Forensic Identification Section continue to investigate.
