RCMP's Major Crime Unit is investigating the homicide of a woman early Tuesday morning in Moncton, N.B.
Cpl. Stephan Esculier said police received a disturbance call on Belleview Avenue in the city's east end at 2:45 a.m.
When they arrived, they discovered a woman had been stabbed multiple times on the street.
"She was transported to hospital where she later died as a result of her injuries," said Esculier.
A short time later, police stopped a vehicle that had been observed near the scene, in connection with the investigation. A 38-year-old woman from Fredericton, a 49-year-old man from Bloomfield Ridge, and a 28-year-old man from Storeytown, were arrested at the scene.
All three are currently in custody.
