Two Teenagers Charged in Prince Albert Fatal Stabbing
A 27-year-old woman has died following a stabbing incident in downtown Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Police have charged two teenagers, a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, with second-degree murder in connection with the death.
Authorities responded to a report of a stabbing on 14th Street East in Prince Albert early Thursday morning. Upon arrival, officers discovered 27-year-old Daina Gauthier with critical injuries. She was transported to a local hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries.
An autopsy confirmed Gauthier's death was a homicide. The Prince Albert Police Service's major crimes unit is leading the investigation. As a result, a 16-year-old male and a 15-year-old female were arrested on Thursday.
Both youths have been formally charged with second-degree murder. They are currently in custody and awaiting a court appearance scheduled for Tuesday in Prince Albert provincial court. Their identities are being withheld due to provisions under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Family and friends have remembered Gauthier, also known as "Baby Moose," as a kind, caring, and compassionate individual. Those who knew her described her as someone who respected others and had a positive impact on their lives.
