RCMP have charged a 19 year-old man with the 2nd-degree murder of a woman in Pelican Narrows.
John Bob Glen Custer appeared in a Prince Albert courtroom this morning.
He is alleged to have strangled and killed 40 year-old Heather Ballantyne, whose body was discovered near a trail in the community last Tuesday.
An autopsy has since been performed.
Evidence collected at the scene showed that Ballatnyne had been strangled to death with some type of rope or ligature.
The information is just coming to light now.
Custer has been remanded until his next court appearance on November 19th in Pelican Narrows.
