WINNIPEG, CANADA – Police have indentified the woman killed on Balmoral Street this weekend and charged a man with murder for her death.
Police say the incident was reported as a domestic disturbance around 3:50 a.m. Sunday in the 600 block of Balmoral.
Valerie Ann Paypompee, 36, was located and taken to hospital in critical condition where she later died from stab wounds to the lower body.
Mulugeta Geddy Gillamichael, 34, an immigrant from Ethiopia, has now been charged with second-degree murder in her death.
The killing occurred at the same inner-city property where a man was murdered just two months ago.
The witness, who didn’t want to be named, said there was a lot of wrestling-like noise coming from the woman’s room, then paramedics carried her out.
“I heard a lot of wrestling in her room,” the witness said of the incident. “I saw paramedics carry her out on a stretcher out the front door and they were trying to revive her. I asked police what happened and they were saying she got stabbed.”
The witness said he believed the victim was aboriginal and resided on the third floor of the rooming house, located across the street from the Balmoral Motor Hotel.
Police said the woman was taken to hospital in critical condition but later succumbed to her injuries. Police did not release any other details of the incident, noting that the official cause of death has yet to be confirmed by an autopsy.
Mulugeta Geddy Gillamichael has been arrested in connection with the crime, said Const. Chris Wingfield, a spokesman for Winnipeg police.

What a shame!
I am sure this guy must have gone through a very bad relationship. I am sure that this fellow has talked to his close friends about his relationship. Too bad that his friends did not do much to help him.

Stupid.This has nothing to do with being a Tigrean.
Tigreans are proud people.Read the history of Ethiopia, it is all about Tigray.
