Montreal woman found strangled to death in Edmonton

[Doc Holliday]

EDMONTON - A 29-year-old woman found dead in a northeast Edmonton residence Thursday was killed by strangulation, police say.

Edmonton Police homicide detectives are investigating the death of Valerie Maurice from Montreal who was found dead Thursday inside a suite in the area of 144 Avenue and 88 A Street, police said in a press release Saturday afternoon. Police noted she did not reside in the home.

Northeast division patrol officers responded to a "check on welfare" call and Maurice was dead upon arrival, the release said.

An autopsy on Friday determined the woman died as a result of strangulation and that her death was a homicide.

If so her pimp did not keep her safe. Unless he did the strangling

damn, the way the media uses gratuitous sexual imagery for the story is really depressing. The tone of the report intentionally highlights the dark side of prostitution. Unfortunately that is the imagery that sticks in peoples collective consciousness...Not the images of happy johns and richer sex workers who like their jobs. It is not representative of everyday life in this world...yeah I know news media is a competitive business, but i dont like it. RIP Valérie.

Another round of crack down on the way?

In case no one follow local news:

The Montreal woman who was killed this week at Edmonton was there as an escort...

And now all the ''activists" are asking new crack down and hushed sentence to providers...

Now I'm all for crack down on human trafficking, but we all know that never end there for these so called "activists"

Its very sad for the provider... i don't know if she was exploited by her "pimp" or was the "clients" the murderer piece of shit. In any case i hope they get caugh and sentence to life in prison.

But just as anything its not because of this job...

Would we put every school teacher under a microscope because one happen to be a piece of shit pedophile? Nop....

Same here...

I agree Mike.
If tied to Human Trafficking then the sentences are very heavy, and rightly so.
Regardless, still a murder so it will be dealt with severely as it should.
