Durham Regional Police say they charged the boyfriend of a woman who died following a domestic violence call in Ajax last weekend.
On Saturday at around 11:05 p.m., officers found 45-year-old Jennifer Polak suffering from obvious signs of trauma at a home on Hillman Drive.
Despite life-saving measures, police said she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said 35-year-old Kyle Severin, identified as the victim’s boyfriend, was arrested.
Severin faces a second-degree murder charge.
A statement from the Polak family says Jenn was the loving mother of two young men.
“Jenn Polak was a kind, caring, beautiful person whose death has devastated everyone who knew her,” the statement read. “She brought sunshine into the lives of everyone she met.”
