Saskatchewan RCMP are investigating the killing of a woman on the Montreal Lake Cree Nation on Sunday and are asking for the public to share any information they might have.  

The Homicide Investigation Unit (HIU) was called to take charge of the investigation of the death of Tanya Roberts, age 31 by officers from the Montreal Lake detachment. 

Police were called at about 2:25 a.m. on March 1 to a reported injured woman at a home in the community and began providing medical help as soon as they arrive.  

EMS was also called to the scene and declared the woman deceased. Her death was deemed suspicious so HIU took over the investigation.  

Victim support has been made available to members of her family.
