Friends of a woman who was found dead Thursday are grieving her loss.
Steinbach Online has received phone calls from the loved ones of Judy Swain, identifying her as the victim of homicide. They believe her 37-year-old son is involved in her death and the death of the suspect's father.
Swain was a well-known member of her community as an organic farmer, heading up Steinbach Farmer's Market in the past.
RCMP were at her New Bothwell home on Thursday, investigating the incident.
