A 36-year-old Montreal man who was out on bail after allegedly uttering death threats to a woman is now accused of murdering her on the South Shore.
Shilei Du was charged with first-degree murder after making a court appearance at the Longueuil courthouse on Monday. His case was adjourned to Nov. 19.
According to a charge sheet, Du allegedly killed Guangmei Ye on Nov. 7, but police only found the woman's body Sunday after being called to a home on Frontenelle Street in Candiac, Que.
Ye worked in data science and business analytics at the multinational investment bank, Morgan Stanley, for about three years.
The company, which has an office in Montreal, released a statement on Monday, saying, "We are devastated by the tragic loss of our colleague, Guangmei, and are committed to providing our full support to her family, loved ones and our many team members who are grieving during this incredibly difficult time."
The Roussillon intermunicipal police responded to the home on Sunday but referred the case to Quebec provincial police.
The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) said when officers arrived at the home they found the woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The man was arrested a short time after.
