Peterborough police have charged an 18-year-old Peterborough woman with first-degree murder in connection with the death of a 24-year-old Peterborough man earlier this year.
On March 7, 2020, Peterborough police attended a Bethune Street home in response to a man who was found with vital signs absent.
Police initially believed the sudden death to be an drug overdose death, but continued investigation revealed the man had been intentionally administered drugs in a quantity resulting in his death.
Police have identified the victim as 24-year-old Tyler Nolan, but are not releasing the name of the accused woman as she was under the age of 18 when the alleged crime occurred.
This is the second homicide of the year for Peterborough.
The accused woman is being held in custody and will appear in court on Thursday, December 10th.
The investigation is still ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Peterborough police at 705-876-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.stopcrimehere.ca.
This story has been updated after police provided a correction to the age of the victim, and to include the court date of the accused.
