Ottawa patrol officers responded to a call at a townhouse on Bowmount Street in Searville around 12:23 a.m., according to police.
Police found Kiu Lam dead in bed and appeared to have been beaten to death. Chow, who called the police, and Sister Hugh were arrested and later charged with first-degree murder.
The Lam sisters were interviewed by Ottawa homicide detectives and gave incriminating statements, according to police.
The sisters allegedly told police they had been subjected to years of abuse and decided to end it.
The accused killers were living with their mother at the time and began planning the killing days before, police believe. They said they could no longer live a life anchored in abuse.
