A Native woman who was murdered in her home in northern Alberta telephoned 911 for help but the call was ignored by the RCMP, CBC News reports.

Brenda Moreside, 44, called 911 before 6 a.m. on February 13, 2005. She told a dispatcher that her common-law husband was breaking into the home and asked for help.

But a classified RCMP briefing obtained by CBC News says the RCMP wouldn't respond because Stanley Willier was breaking into his own house. Moreside was then stabbed to death.

Willier has been charged with second-degree murder for killing Moreside, who attended a predominantly Native college. Willier has pleaded not guilty.
