A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for a man wanted for murder after a woman was found dead in an Oshawa home.

Officers responded to a wellness call at the residence in the area of Rideau Street and Saguenay Avenue, near King Street West and Park Road North, around 7 a.m. on Tuesday.

When police arrived they found the woman deceased inside the home. She has been identified as 29-year-old Dona Sajan.

A warrant has been issued for 31-year-old Lal Kannampuzha Poulose for first-degree murder. Investigators believe he has fled the country and may be living in India at this time.
