The RCMP are investigating the death of a man at a residence in rural Vermillion River County in the early hours of Saturday.
Police were called to the home just before 2 a.m. due to a report about weapons. The RCMP stated that when they got there, they found the body of a man who has since been identified as 47-year-old Edward Hubert Beharrell of Edmonton.
“Because of the immediate suspicious nature of the death, the police arrested the other person living in the home,” the RCMP said Sunday in a news release.
The Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit has taken control of the investigation.
Cherry Skrenkowich, also of Edmonton, has been accused of manslaughter. Skrenkowich, 62, is set to appear in court on March 12 in Lloydminster.
