A second person has been charged in connection with the April 9 homicide of a 39-year-old man in Saskatoon. A 21-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday at Pine Grove Correctional Centre and faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm, unlawful confinement, assault with a weapon, and uttering threats.
The charges come a day after a 27-year-old man was charged with manslaughter in the same case, which marks Saskatoon's fourth homicide of 2026.
