A 28-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Mylène Masson-Bessette in Sherbrooke, Que.

Joey Bilodeau, the accused and Masson-Bessette's partner, was arrested at a residence on Morkill Street Friday evening in the eastern part of the city, about 130 kilometres east of Montreal.

Sherbrooke police were sent to the home around 8:30 p.m. on Friday to conduct a wellness check after relatives of Masson-Bessette, 33, said they had not heard from her.
