WINNIPEG – A joint police squad tasked with solving cases of missing and murdered women in Manitoba has arrested a man in the slaying of a woman almost eight years ago.
The remains of Myrna Letandre (leh-TAHN’-dreh) were found in May 2013 in a Winnipeg home.
She was reported missing by her sister in October 2006.
Investigators with the RCMP and Winnipeg police arrested Traigo (TRAY’-goh) Andretti and have charged him with second-degree murder.
Police say the 38-year-old, who was convicted in the first-degree murder of his wife in British Columbia last month, was arrested in that province and is being brought back to Winnipeg.
The RCMP recently released a report estimating there have been almost 1,200 cases of missing and murdered aboriginal women since 1980.
