Record Staff (HB) An 18-year-old man was arrested and later charged with murder following a violent family dispute that resulted in the death of his 41-year-old mother on July 9 in Sherbrooke. According to a press release from the Sherbrooke Police Service (SPS), around 9 p.m. on Thursday, July 9, a resident of rue Laiterie contacted the SPS to report an argument at a neighbour’s home at 1846 Laiterie Street. Upon arrival, officers discovered a seriously injured woman inside the residence and arrested an 18-year-old man.

Paramedics were called to the scene. The victim, a 41-year-old woman, was quickly transported to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. A young girl at the scene also sustained an arm injury.
