Emergency crews responded to a 9-1-1 call for a suspicious death on Friday
A 52-year old London man is in custody, and charged with second degree murder after a homicide in the north end of the city.
Police were called to 455 Billybrook Crescent a quiet residential street in in London, Ont. Located between Richmond St. and Adelaide off Fanshawe Park Rd.
A 9-1-1 call came in Friday night at 6:20pm to a home, which is now surrounded by yellow-police tape.
"Officers arrived on scene and located a female within the residence who was deceased," says Const. Travis Buckle of the London Police Service (LPS).
"An adult male was taken into custody in relation to the incident."
Police confirm the victim was known to the accused, and neighbours tell CTV News it was the man’s wife.
A next-door neighbour says the family has lived in the home for about a decade.
For the last seven-and-half months, Toronto resident Heather McArthur has been living out what she describes as her 'worst nightmare.' On Feb. 7, her then three-year-old son Jacob along with his father Loc Phu 'Jay' Le departed for what was supposed to be a week-long visit to Vietnam to celebrate the Lunar New Year with family, McArthur says.
