Guelph police are investigating a homicide after a woman was found dead at a motel over the weekend.
Police say staff at the Wayfare Motel on Woodlawn Road West called 911 just before 11 a.m. Sunday.
“I don’t know if they entered the room or if they could see from outside but they were the ones certainly that called,” said Guelph police spokesperson Scott Tracey.
When officers arrived, they found the body of a woman in her 50s. No more details were given about but police said they don’t believe she was local.
A post-mortem was done and the cause of death was ruled a homicide.
Officers have remained on scene since Sunday and detectives are canvassing the area as the investigation continues.
“It is concerning – not only to the community but to the police service of course,” Tracey said. “We will do whatever we can do figure out what happened here and who is responsible and bring that person to justice.”
