CHILLIWACK, B.C. — A 19-year-old man has been charged in connection with the death of a Chilliwack woman.

Police were called to a home in the Fraser Valley early on Feb. 24 and found the 51-year-old woman dead.

Homicide investigators took over the case and on Friday night a young man was arrested.

A police statement says the victim and suspect knew each other and the death appears to be "domestic related."

Police have not released the dead woman's name.
