Police confirm woman died by `manual strangulation' by David Lea Oakville Beaver Staff 3 | Friday, September 25, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Halton police say a 62-year-old Oakville woman, found dead at her home at 1343 Sheldon Dr. Monday night, died as a result of manual strangulation. The coroner's office released the preliminary cause of death, following an autopsy of Judith Wilson, which took place Tuesday and Wednesday. Police were called to the residence around 8:30 p.m. after receiving a call from a man stating there was a dead woman in the house. Officers responded and found Wilson without vital signs. Emergency personnel attempted to revive her using CPR, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. The caller, the victim's 39-year-old son, remained in the home until police arrived. No one else was in the home at the time of the incident. A 39-year-old man was arrested, said police. Det. Sgt. John Mans of the Halton police Homicide Unit confirmed both the victim and the accused were living independently at the 1343 Sheldon Ave. residence. On Tuesday, the Town of Oakville issued a statement that confirmed Wilson had been a Town by-law enforcement officer and chair of Oakville's Property Standards Committee. She worked for the Town of Oakville for a total of 23 years, from 1986 until her retirement in 2009. "To honour the passing of Judy Wilson, chair of the Property Standards Committee and a former Town of Oakville by-law enforcement employee, flags at all town facilities will be lowered to halfmast until after the day of the funeral or memorial service," the statement said. "This is a difficult time for staff who knew her," said Lesley Patel, communications advisor with the Office of the Mayor and Council. Oakville Mayor Rob Burton also issued a statement concerning the tragedy. "I am deeply saddened by the loss of retired Town of Oakville employee and community member Judy Wilson," he said. "After serving 23 years in the areas of parking, bylaw enforcement and licensing with the town, she continued doing community work, presently serving as chair of the Property Standards Committee. Her dedication and enthusiasm to Oakville was compelling. Judy touched the lives of many of our staff and community members. She will be greatly missed." Ryan Porte, 39 of Oakville was charged with second-degree murder. He appeared in Milton court Tuesday and was held in custody for another hearing on Friday.
