RCMP have released a woman arrested Wednesday in connection with the death of Charlene Ward.
Wednesday morning, police announced they had arrested a 30-year-old woman from MacGregor, Man. in connection with the 2007 death of the Portage la Prairie grandmother.
However, on Thursday, RCMP said they had released the woman without charges.
Police said just because she was released without charges, does not change whether police view her as suspect.'
"A person can be released without charges and still be considered a suspect," an RCMP spokesperson said.
Ward’s body was found in her home on Nov. 1, 2007.
The 46-year-old was out with friends before returning home from a party, which ended at 8 a.m. Her body was found at 8:45 a.m.
Police ruled her death a homicide.
RCMP continue to investigate and ask anyone with information about what happened to come forward or contact Crime Stoppers.
