A 53-year-old man from Medicine Hat has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of his 51-year-old domestic partner.

Medicine Hat Police Service officers responded to a home on Third Street S.E. late Tuesday afternoon following a call to 911.

Officials confirm Timothy Faulkner, 53, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the woman's death. Police say the accused and deceased were partners, but her name has not been released.
