14-year-old girl charged with murder in Fort Good Hope
cbc.ca —
A 14-year-old girl has been charged with murder following a stabbing in Fort Good Hope, Northwest Territories. The police found a woman with serious injuries at a home on Sunday morning. She was taken to a local health center but died soon after. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrested the teenager and charged her with murder. Because she is underage, her name cannot be released due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act. She is currently in custody and will appear in court in Yellowknife on Tuesday. This incident comes just weeks after another murder in the same small community, which has about 500 residents. The RCMP is asking anyone with information about the stabbing to reach out to them at the local contact number.
