A 27-year-old Shamattawa man is facing a manslaughter charge after a woman died from injuries sustained in an intimate partner violence incident.
Manitoba RCMP were called to a residence in the community on Wednesday night to find an unresponsive 32-year-old woman inside. She was transported to the local nursing station with life-threatening injuries before being flown to a Winnipeg hospital for further care. She died on Thursday.
According to RCMP, the victim had gone to a safe place earlier in the day when her partner attended and allegedly assaulted her.
Keith Miles was arrested shortly after the incident and initially charged with aggravated assault. That charge has since been upgraded to manslaughter. He remains in custody.
RCMP continue to investigate.
