The Fredericton Police Force has arrested an individual in connection with the September 7, 2025, sudden death of 42-year-old Sonia Vivian Timbre of Fredericton.
Aaron Jesse Rice, 45, was arrested and charged today in court with one count of second-degree murder under section 235(1) of the Criminal Code in relation to the death of Ms. Timbre.
Fredericton Police responded to a downtown residence where they found Sonia Vivian Timbre, 42, deceased, and an adult male, later identified as Rice, was taken to hospital. The Major Crime Unit launched an investigation that determined Ms. Timbre’s death was a homicide.
The FPF’s Victim Witness Services team has been working closely with the victim’s family throughout the investigation. Our thoughts are with Ms. Timbre’s family and friends as they process this tragic loss.
The Fredericton Police Force would like to thank the community for their continued support and cooperation throughout this investigation.
