Two teenagers have been charged with second-degree murder in the death of 27-year-old Daina Gauthier in Prince Albert.<\/p>\n

Police say officers were called to a report of a stabbing on 14th Street East in the city’s downtown around 1:55 a.m. CST Thursday. Gauthier was found with serious injuries and later died in hospital.<\/p>\n

“She always had a smile on whenever she came by,” said Jonathan James Morin, Gauthier’s uncle. “She always showed respect. She never treated anybody badly.”<\/p>\n

A memorial near the scene on Friday had candles, flowers and tobacco, as people stopped to pay their respects.<\/p>\n
