A 17-year-old in Brockville has been charged with the murder of a mother and her two teenage daughters, with local police calling their deaths a case of intimate partner violence.

Brockville Police responded to a call at around 11:30 a.m. on May 7 to a residence on Cartier Court, where they found the bodies of a 49-year-old woman and her daughters, aged 17 and 15, Insp. Darryl Boyd told a news conference May 8 afternoon.

"It is believed at this time that a knife was involved in the incident," Boyd said.

Officers received information that led them to a different address on the outskirts of the eastern Ontario city, Boyd said. They found the teen there and took him into custody.

The teen was in a relationship with one of the two daughters, "indicating that this is an incident involving intimate partner violence," said Boyd.

He also characterized the killings as femicide. The teen whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act appeared in court May 8. He's been charged with three counts of first-degree murder.

He was also charged with assaulting a police officer during his arrest, Boyd said.
