Prince Albert police say a 29-year-old man charged in the murder of his mother had assaulted a staff member at Victoria Hospital the night before the killing.
Officers were called to a residence on 28th Street West with the report of a violent family dispute just before 2 p.m. on Saturday, according to a Prince Albert police news release. When they arrived, they found 51-year-old Beverly Constant dead at the scene. Her son, Everett Constant, is charged with second-degree murder in her death.
In a news release late Monday, police said they responded to the same residence on 28th Street on Friday, the night before the killing, to support Parkland Ambulance with a medical call.
Police said paramedics took Everett to Victoria Hospital, where he later assaulted hospital staff. After being medically cleared, he was arrested and held overnight at the Prince Albert Police Service cells.
The next day, police released him with orders to appear in provincial court on May 30 to face the charge of assault with a weapon against hospital staff.
That afternoon, police were called back to the residence with reports of a violent family dispute.
"And sadly, that's when it was discovered; that 51-year-old Beverly Constant was pronounced dead at the scene," Prince Albert police chief Patrick Nogier told CTV News.
