City cops say they have charged the husband of Edmonton's 16th homicide victim of the year with second-degree murder.
The victim, 40-year-old Deang Huon, was found by police in the bedroom of an apartment suite at 10955 106 St. Wednesday after relatives asked authorities to check on her well-being.
It wasn't immediately known how long the woman had been dead when the cops found her.
The Cambodian couple has lived at The Kent apartment complex since 2000 and neighbours say the suspect and the victim are both well-liked by everyone.
Landlord Allan Thompson, who also lives in the building, was shocked over his tenant's death. He described the suspect as "peaceful" and the couple's relationship as "loving towards each other."
About half of the tenants in the building are also Cambodian and knew the couple well, he added, saying they're more confused than scared. Newer tenants, however, are unsettled.
"The tenants have been phoning me and the people who know Sok are mystified. They're not worried," he explained.
Thompson was renovating one of the building's suites when police arrived with a woman he identified as the couple's niece.
He opened the door for them, but didn't learn police had discovered a body until a man was taken into custody.
Police have not said how the victim died.
Narin Sok, 49, is slated to appear in court on Aug. 6.
