Police Yet To Talk To Person Of Interest In Death Of Halifax Yoga Instructor

The Canadian Press, 29 Mar, 2016 12:02 PM
    Halifax police say they are waiting to speak to a man they describe as a person of interest in the homicide death of a local yoga instructor.
     
    Police found the body of 32-year-old Kristin Elizabeth Johnston in a home in Purcells Cove on Saturday.
     
    Police spokeswoman Theresa Rath says a man who was arrested at the home on Saturday remains in hospital with "significant" injuries.
     
    Rath says police need to speak to the man in order to "help progress our investigation," but says she doesn't know when that will happen.
     
    She won't talk about the relationship between the man and Johnston, saying only that they were known to one another.
     
    Police questioned another man who was at the home when officers arrived, but his involvement was ruled out.
