A 20-year-old man accused of killing a woman in her 50's has been formally charged in a Guelph court.
Mohammad Mohammadi appeared through a video link from the Guelph police station Wednesday afternoon at the Ontario Court of Justice on Wyndham Street. He is charged with second-degree murder.
The name of the victim has not been released.
The appearance lasted about 20 minutes. The hearing is under a publication ban.
The victim's body was found at a motel on Woodlawn Road by emergency services on Oct. 15.
Police say it took two days for the results of a post-mortem examination to come back. The exam results determined the death to be a homicide.
Mohammadi was arrested Tuesday evening. Police say the victim and accused were known to each other.
He is due back in court Friday.
