Suspect connected to weekend homicide makes first court appearance

THUNDER BAY – The 33-year-old woman charged in the city’s most recent homicide appeared in court Wednesday afternoon.

Pauline Cutfeet, charged with second-degree murder in the weekend killing of 38-year-old Perry Bois from Fort Hope, appeared via video at the Thunder Bay Courthouse.

Bois was found in a second floor hallway of the Victoria Inn during the early morning hours of March 19, suffering from obvious trauma. He was transported to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre where he died a short time later.

Cutfeet, who is also charged with breach of probation and breach of recognizance, is scheduled to appear in court again next week and remains in custody.

None of the charges have been proven in court.
