    BURNABY, B.C. — A mother of two young children in Burnaby B.C., is dead and her husband has been charged with second-degree murder.
     
    The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 47-year-old Parveen Maan was arrested Thursday afternoon after police were called to what they believed was a domestic dispute.
     
    When police searched the home they found the woman dead from injuries.
     
    Police say the children were not at home at the time of the dispute.
     
    The homicide team's Cpl. Meghan Foster says the senseless act has left a gaping home in a family and two children without their mother.
     
    "This senseless act has left a gaping hole in a family, and two young kids without their mother," the officer said. "This family is attempting to deal with this loss as best as they can."
     
    Anyone with information is asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to remain anonymous.
     
    "We are looking for anyone who had information about this couple, how long they've been around the area, and the dynamic of the relationship to contact us," Foster said.
     
    Maan remains in custody and a date for his next court appearance hasn't yet been set.
