A 34-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of a Toronto woman.

Leila Chandrapaul, 37, was pronounced dead after she was found suffering from obvious stab wounds inside a high-rise apartment near Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue early Sunday morning.

A man was then taken in to custody at the scene in connection with the incident.

Areef Khan, 34, of Toronto, appeared in court at Old City Hall today and was remanded into custody until his next appearance on Wednesday.
