OPP have charged a Fort Frances woman with second degree murder after a death four-and-a-half years ago.
The investigation began on January 14, 2015, when the Rainy River District OPP received information from La Verendrye Hospital in Fort Frances regarding a suspicious death along with a theft.
As a result of a lengthy investigation, members of the Rainy River District OPP Crime Unit, have arrested and charged Lindsey COYLE, 34-years-old, of Fort Frances with the following Criminal Code offences:
- Second Degree Murder,
- Criminal Negligence Causing Death,
- Theft,
- Breach of Trust,
