Four police cars remained parked outside a large red brick corner-lot home in southwest Edmonton Saturday morning where a man was found dead the night before.
Police were called to the two-storey home with white-framed windows on Whitemud Road at 53A Avenue at about 7:45 p.m. Friday to respond to a domestic dispute. The man’s body was found inside. Neither his age nor his name have been released.
Police say they are interviewing witnesses that were inside the residence at the time.
Forensic investigators and staff from the medical examiner’s office were seen entering through the maroon-coloured front door Saturday morning. A silver Honda with a baby seat in the back sat in the side driveway.
Located on a quiet street near the North Saskatchewan River, the yellow crime scene tape caught the eye of cyclists training on Whitemud Road, one of whom said the house had been up for sale on and off over the last few years.
There have been 23 homicides in Edmonton so far this year.
