LAVAL, Que. — A Quebec man has been charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of a 71-year-old woman over the weekend.

Christophe Oliviera was charged Thursday, hours after his arrest.

A police tactical unit arrested him around 1 a.m. at a chalet near Sainte-Marcelline-de-Kildare, about 90 kilometres north of Montreal.

Police had been looking for Oliviera since Saturday when they were called to a duplex in Laval, just north of Montreal, and found the victim outside the home with signs of trauma on her body.

She was declared dead at the scene.
