York Regional Police have charged a Toronto man with murder in connection with the death of a Richmond Hill woman this week.

In a news release Saturday, police said they received a call on Friday evening to check on the welfare of an occupant at a residence on Taylor Mills Drive South.

Police say officers found a man with non-life-threatening injuries and a woman who pronounced dead at the scene. The man was taken to hospital for his injuries.
