A 42-year-old Ontario man is facing charges in connection to the death of a woman, who was found in an Edmonton hotel room last week.

Police say the investigation began after a woman's body was found inside a room at the Yellowhead Inn last Wednesday.

Bradley Barton of Mississauga, Ontario has been charged with second degree murder. He was arrested in Calgary on Friday and was brought back to Edmonton Monday.

The victim has been identified as 36-year-old Cindy Gladue.

This marks Edmonton's 27th homicide of the year.
