A man police had arrested following the discovery of an injured woman in Telkwa has been released without charges, RCMP say. Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, the senior media relations officer for the RCMP鈥檚 Southwest and North District region told The Interior 亚洲天堂 that the individual who was arrested the morning of Nov. 11 in connection with a woman鈥檚 death in Telkwa has been released with no charges so far.

RCMP has a 24 hour window after an initial arrest to submit documents to Crown prosecutors to recommend charges. Moskaluk did not provide any further details of the investigation.

He said that the victim鈥檚 body has been flown to Vancouver for a scheduled autopsy on Nov. 14.

At some point in the early morning hours of Nov. 11, Smithers RCMP, along with the B.C. Ambulance Service and local fire service members attended a scene upon receiving a report of an injured woman in Telkwa.

The police did not officially say where in Telkwa the incident occurred, but The Interior 亚洲天堂 observed a portion of Willow Street closed off by RCMP investigators on Friday afternoon.

The woman was found with life threatening injuries and transported to the Bulkley Valley District Hospital where she succumbed to her injuries later that day.

鈥淧olice are treating the death as being criminal in nature,鈥� said Moskaluk. It was at the scene that the police found the man that they initially arrested.

RCMP have confirmed that the two people knew each other but have not explained what that relationship was.

It is unclear exactly what time the woman was reported to authorities, but a person on The Interior 亚洲天堂鈥� Facebook page posted that she saw someone being taken away in an ambulance at around 2 a.m. that morning.
