Winnipeg police say partial human remains found near the Red River in the South Point Douglas area on Saturday were those of a woman over the age of 20 who hasn’t yet been identified.
At a news conference Tuesday afternoon, Sgt. Wade McDonald with the police service’s homicide unit said it’s believed the woman was the victim of a homicide but could not say why, and wouldn’t say whether there were obvious signs of foul play.
Officers were called to the area around Curtis Street and Higgins Avenue around 1:30 p.m. Saturday after a report of possible human remains found in the area, police said in a news release on Monday.
Police had a large section of Waterfront Drive, upstream from where the remains were found, taped off on Sunday. Members of the underwater search and identification unit were still there on Monday.
